Things to do in Seattle...West Seattle Farmers Market at the heart of the West Seattle Junction…read more From farm to the neighborhood community! Wherever we travel, we love checking out the local farmers market! We ran into this farmers market meeting a friend for a hike. We were too early since they don't open until 10am. Afterwards, we came back to check it out. Love the sense of community. It got really busy with some vendors having long lines. Fresh vegetables, fruit, amazing cider, meat, cheese, fresh oysters, fresh mushrooms, bread and baked goods. And, of course, gorgeous fresh flowers!! The food options are great with grilled salmon and breakfast sandwiches. We left with fresh apricots, cherries and a bottle of Apple Cider. Parking on side streets can get full near the farmers market. It gets quite busy. There are no bathrooms. It is also dog friendly.

Cute year-round farmers market with a lot of stands selling fresh produce, meat, flowers, and more…read more There are not a lot of hot/ready to eat stands here compared to other farmers markets, but cool restaurants are so close by so it doesn't really matter. I recommend Lady Jaye for lunch, Bakery Nouveau for baked goods, and Panterelli for beverages and dessert! It got quite busy at times at several stands, but it went quickly and everyone was chill about it. It was not chaotic or stressful at all, no claustrophobic vibes here. It was also fun to people watch to see what other patrons were buying. Many people were out with the entire family and pets and enjoying the great weather. I can't wait for summer to roll around and for more stuff to come to market!

Great produce- lots to choose from. Might be more costly than your local market but well worth it…read more Nothing as tasty as fresh picked!

I want to love this place. It is super cute, almost liking visiting a friend's large garden…read more Parking can be a bit cramped but it isn't bad. But I was very turned off last year by them asking for tips when paying with a credit card! They can turn off the tip option on their credit card machine but they choose not to. I think sometimes they let go through the screen yourself and select your options on the ipad but I've also encountered them several times asking loudly, do you want to leave a tip? Their u-pick prices are already $1-$3 higher per pound for most things compared to the farmers market and then on top of that they want tips. It is DISGUSTING. They don't make tipped wages like waiters so why are they trying to get even more money from their customers through tips? People may leave tips but guess what, in this economic climate, we don't want to leave tips. But we feel that if we don't that you will not only judge us but perhaps even treat us badly. The tips that you have received aren't a signal that we think you are doing a great job; we are afraid of repercussions if we don't. Edit: I thought they were organic but I just checked their website and it doesn't explicitly say that they are, it did mention healthy soil. But it says they offer organic vegetable starts which kinda implies they are organic. So keep this in mind when looking at their pricing.

This is a nice fruit stand at Mercer Island Farmers Market on Sunday morning/early afternoons. The…read morefarm is based out of Yakima Valley and I believe MI is the only Seattle area farmers market that they have a stand at. Selection consisted of stone fruits like cherries and peaches at a fair price on a recent visit. It feels good to patronize a small farm producing delicious local fruit.

Affordable groceries in a high cost of living area, no complaints here. Careful on scanning…read moremultiple of the same weighted items because they'll go a bit quick but not account for different weights (noticed a lady scan cheese three times and they had to correct her since one weighed less). They have indomie in both normal and spicy flavors here so that's lit!

My mother found a couple of dozen items online from Grocery Outlet with incredibly low sale prices…read moreand made a large order through Instacart. The shopper called her from the store to report that all the items were out of stock except for two. She said she could do substitutions if my mother wanted to (though she really didn't want to spend the time.) My mother wasn't interested in doing the substitutions either and cancelled the order. Disappointing!

Don't trust the guys to pick out your fruit. We ask for something we can eat today and tmrw. Spent…read more$18 for 5 persimmons and this one the first one. The second one was bland and hard. And the third fuyu has a super thick tough skin and inside was bland as well. The two hachiya persimmons we bought at $4 each was so high in tannins it sucked the moisture right out our mouths and were absolutely inedible. We normally go to Sosios but we wanted to support other vendors but this mistake won't happen again.

I was in rush and didn't have time to walk into the market for produce, I quickly stopped at…read moreFrank's Quality Produce. Chaz was extremely courteous, and helpful he provided great suggestions. The selection, and quality of the produce is just as great as most of the produce stands. However the ability to select your own, and walk into Frank's stand makes the shopping experience much better. I am definitely going to be a repeat customer, and highly recommend!!!

I LOVE Trader Joe's overall, but this location is definitely my favorite. Every employee is always…read moreso friendly and helpful! A few days ago, when we couldn't find green onions, a super helpful employee had someone bring them right up to us at checkout so we could complete our shopping list. There's always great customer service at this location! They also always have a great selection of wines, flowers, and fresh herb plants at great prices. Picked up the basil this time and it was too cute not to share :) It's also always fun trying new things every time we come!

This farmers market is near the Federal Way light rail station. Free parking in the surrounding area. It's not as big as the Puyallup Farmers Market but at least Fed Way has one. Friendly staff member at the info booth. Friendly vendors all around.

The Federal Way Farmers Market is a seasonal market held on Saturdays from May to September located…read morenext to Town Square Park and near the Federal Way Downtown Station where the parking garage is located. It is a smaller farmers market which skews towards fresh produce over prepared foods. Prices seem to be more reasonable than the Des Moines one I visited afterward and this market is unique for having a couple stands selling Filipino produce like okra and bitter melon. It is worth a visit if you are near the station and have some time before your connecting bus or train arrives.

This is a relatively new farmers market as it began just last year. The market is held on Saturday…read morefrom mid-May to mid-October and is located next to Madison Park and close to Madison Park Beach. This is more of a neighborhood farmers market than one that has wide appeal like the nearby the University District Farmers Market. It is a small market that takes up one block. Selection leans more towards fresh produce with a smattering of vendors selling meats and prepared foods like bread, cookies and pizza. I attribute the size of the market to its newness and there being competing markets nearby, specially the U District and SLU markets which happen concurrently. I would not go out of my way to visit the market. But if you happen to be in the Madison Park neighborhood on a Saturday morning, it is definitely worth a visit. It is a good activity to pair with going to the beach.
