Indeed there were!
As a little kid around West Seattle in 1943 - 1945, I recall a barrage balloon being stationed in a vacant lot on the north side of Southwest Graham Street between 37th and 36th avenues. (The area is all residential houses now.) They were there as part of a force of barrage balloons intended to protect Boeing Field and the aircraft factory from dive bomber attacks.
While walking past the site up Graham Street from my house on 39th Avenue with my mother to shop up on 35th I'd often ask mom whether I might be able to assist the soldiers in launching their balloons. My discussions with the indulgent balloon crews, and subsequently with my mother, always yielded a kindly "no" of course, but I remained intrigued until the balloons finally were withdrawn at the end of the war.
