I loved seeing such a wide variety because everyone in our group was able to find something they genuinely enjoyed despite our different tastes lol Personally, I ended up buying a Green Amethyst necklace from Sea Diamonds, a ring from another jewelry vendor, a chain and three charms from a vendor in the indoor section, and even a custom poem from an artist who was creating them on the spot with her typewriter! That was definitely one of the most unique things I came across. As for food, I got to try the Crab Mac & Cheese from Sam's Crab Mac & Cheese and was completely sold after the sample bite (highly recommend!!). I also enjoyed a Mangonada from one of the Mexican food vendors, and the Watermelon Sour Cotton Candy from CottonMouth Confections, which was another standout and definitely worth trying!! Overall, if you want to fully explore everything the market has to offer, I'd recommend setting aside a few hours.

Thank you Claude for finding this market. This was so extensive. This market had pretty much…read moreeverything that you could ask for. Vintage clothes, jewelry, tarot readings, art, food and coffee. This was a great way to spend the last day in Seattle, as well as to enjoy a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

This was my first farmer's market in Washington and it was utterly magical!…read more The produce quality is so amazing and I loved all the variety! The flowers were beyond beautiful. I don't think I have seen more beautiful blooms anywhere else! I love that it was heavily focused on local small businesses, farmers, and FOOD. We stopped for a few bites along the way and were blown away every time. So good. This market is huge and stretches for a few blocks, so be sure to come early and give yourself ample time to explore. Also, with it being in Ballard, there are a ton of cool, hipster shops to browse while you're in the area.

Christa is kind, cool and friendly whenever I have questions or want anything in particular. The main love I have for them is that everything is organic AND plenty of variety to select from! Yams, carrots, garlic? They gots 'em, yo. Their booth size is very decent covering a variety of roots, greens, herbs and jams. Lately, I've been loading up on potatoes, sweet potatoes and yams for steaming and baking. They're located south in the arcade - just a short walk north from the flying fish crowd. Thumbs up & much love!

The first week of our CSA at Growing Washington I cooked up some golden beets that arrived in our…read morebox. After one bite, my husband (who mostly ate spinach has his primary veggie), announced, "I never thought I liked beets, but these taste sooo good!!!" Growing Washington changed the way we cook and eat!!! We've been members of this CSA for three years and have offered our front porch as a hosting site. They provide 100% LOCAL and ORGANIC fruits, veggies, and even butter, flour, fresh flowers, herbs, and eggs. All the products are fresh and unique. The BEST thing about this CSA is that they provide a LIST of all the FRESH stuff on the farm that week, and you CHOOSE what works best for your taste, cooking style, and needs. You can be adventurous one week, and conservative next week. It's all so flavorful and delicious. I've been particularly impressed with the service. We've been going with the CSA for three years and anytime there has been questionable quality they always replace it, no questions asked. Two weeks in a row we got some icky misuna, and the third week they sent us FLOWERS. I always feel like I end up on top. Just another reason to love summer in Seattle.

The Seattle farmers market scene always leaves me impressed…read more This winter market is nestled in Fremont under a bridge every Sunday. The location is absolutely perfect, since the shelter keeps the event on both rain and shine. The flea market is filled with local makers selling their winter holiday goods. Some of my favorite booths included the handmade dumpling, vintage clothing booths, the cute festive stationary and holiday cards, and the many coffee stations. This is one of the best places to go to when you're looking for a unique gift that's memorable. We stumbled on fossils, vintage jackets, and the most beautifully scented handmade soaps. A must-visit location in Seattle if you're visiting during the winter!

It's open year round on Saturdays and the street is closed off from traffic. The vendors have good energy and the street is wide enough to walk around leisurely. If you like buskers, fresh cut flowers, and produce then check out this farmers market. I stopped by during the U District Cherry Blossom Festival. It was pretty busy but still enjoyable.

We've only been here on a few Thursday evenings, it's something we look forward to and try to allot more time for. The deals aren't always the greatest but the products are fresh and the selection is vast. Everything from meats and cheeses to baked goods, produce and flowers. We even have our favourite food trucks. It's actually more than just exchanging goods. They're attempting to promote community spirit and fellowship. See you next Thursday! 07/25

She absolutely loved it!

Wallingford Farmers Market is held on Wednesday afternoons from May to September at Meridian…read morePlayground. From reading the first review, it seems like this farmers market has changed with the times. What was a farmers market with many produce vendors and a few food options has turned upside down. Instead, it now has a lot more prepared food vendors than ones offering fresh produce. The produce selection here is sufficient, but it would be better to go to the Ballard or the U District Farmers Market instead. The vibe of this farmers market is that it is well supported by the community, making it a lovely place to spend a summer weekday afternoon.

The Wallingford Farmers Market is of course --a Farmers Market. Not to the degree of say the…read moreBallard Farmers Market, but the neighborhood and more really show up on a weekly basis while it's in season. The vendors are usually mainstays. Some include - Seattle Pops and Vespucci Pizza, but some other regulars are Tijuana Tacos, Knife sharpening services, Olsen Farms beef & more, Alvarez, Farmore and Hayton berry farms, French Guys bread, Republic of Cider, Seattle Scones and more. Lots of folks like to picnic out on the grass, which is something you can't do at Ballard market, so points there to Wallingford. There is often a busker doing some music, a balloon animal maker and neighborhood alliance members with info about the going On's which is nice as well as information about the Farmer's market itself, such as getting space and merch. What I don't care for are the canvassers. I don't mind them campaigning for .... whomever, but it gets annoying when I'm approached by a canvasser when I enter the market, I'm approached by a canvasser while I'm hanging out in the market, and I'm approached by a canvasser when I'm about to leave the market. It's too much. That all said, Wallingford Farmer Market is a nice way to support farms and small businesses and operates every Wednesday afternoon and always has a nice turnout for support.

My favorite time to visit is June-September. The folks of Capitol Hill get to pick their favorite fruits and veggies with their reusable bags in tow. The flowers and produce are vibrant and bountiful. It's good warm energy. I usually get here right when they open because there are minimal lines and I get the best picks of merch and snacks. I also get longer 1:1 time connecting with vendors. They're pretty friendly and they enjoy chatting about their products. After shopping I usually walk around Cal Anderson Park, sit near the Waterworks fountain, relax, and people watch.

The Capitol Hill Farmers Market is a small-ish, year-round Farmers Market that serves the…read moresurrounding area with fresh produce, bread and more staples, right next to Cal Anderson Park. I accompanied my friend here who lives in nearby First Hill, so it constitutes the surrounding area mentioned but is all the more welcomed now as aside from the QFC in the area, there are few options for food shopping. My friend picked up some fresh radishes, mushrooms and tasty homemade hummus from the various vendors in attendance. We also got a veggie panini from a griller vendor at the market. Overall, the market is on the small side focusing primarily on produce over products and other miscellaneous sometimes seen at the larger ones. This is kind of nice as there is a lower amount of foot traffic, but the options are more limited. Decent Farmers Market though if you have a fairly small list of things, you need without wandering too much.
