My family and I are from California. Growing up going to the Pulga was a fun experience. Since I've…read moremoved, I've had trouble finding community but this place (along with some others) helped me feel at home. My family visiting also fell in love! They liked it better than San Jose's. All to say, the people are so nice, the music was fun, and it felt welcoming. Food options were great and sure, some vendors can sell things at higher prices but that doesn't speak for the majority.

The monthly SODO market hits on all cylinders. Good merchants willing to engage with you, food…read moretrucks, reasonable parking, and the bonus of EPIC. Epic is the antique market that is the building next to the market. I always find good deals and new rings from one of the merchants. The antique market is the usual treasure, give yourself at least an hour to explore all the options. Housewares, outdoor things, and too much to describe. Perhaps Epic will let me do a video walkthrough at some point. Put this market on your calendar, the second Saturday of every month. One more great reason to celebrate living in Seattle. #ShopLocal #shopsmall

Came here May 2022. Most of the reviews are for other years and when I went, the market wasn't too…read moreexciting. I had just come from the Lake Union Saturday Market and compared to the music, amount of vendors, and food trucks there, SODO was quiet and smaller. This one wraps around the antique shop but there was room for three food trucks and a small strip of vendors. There were a lot of people selling re-thrifted clothes. Looked like there were a few gems but you may need to do some digging around, and at that point I may just do my own thrifting. Of course like with any market there are a few quality things worth coming for. I saw a few hanging crystal decorations with moons and stars and I would love to gift one to my niece. The handmade jewelry selections were super cute and very nice quality. There are some of the same looking stuff throughout vendors though so really walk the tents through before making a purchase.

That could be good or bad, depending on what you're looking for. Like an antique mall, it's one big space divided into smaller stalls, and you can more or less tell where each stall ends. The individual stalls might or might not be organized according to a theme -- some are just piled with random used stuff. One of my favorites was toward the middle of the store and included some mineral specimens, fossils, deer antlers, and jewelry, but the prices were a bit high for me. Some of the stalls do seem to be more antique-focused for collectors. There's one that specializes in novelty cookie jars, and another that has a nice selection of Bakelite bracelets for just $5-10 each. There were some Pyrex pieces too, though overpriced. But many of the areas just seemed packed with used clothes, housewares, kids' toys, and random items. I guess that's the "flea market" part. A lot of it is so cluttered and messy that it's just difficult to look through, though. There's probably some good stuff in here, but it needs to be cleaned up and displayed more nicely to really be fun to shop. It's worth a quick stop if you're already here, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.

I was greeted by a nice friendly man who gave me some info about the place and pointed out that the majority of the items are in the back rooms. This place is deceptively large. It's a bit messy in the back but there is a little bit of everything here. He also told me some items were new and didn't have prices on them but to ask if I wanted to know. I'd rather have items labeled so I can see if it's a good deal or not. I hate to ask each time I look at an item. Overall, it's a small business in a sus part of Seattle that frankly needs some more legitimate businesses. I even found a cool little Squidward stuffie that I purchased. I'll be back one day to check it out again.

As you walk through the store there is a room which often has 90's jams on. This room has more clothing and on the left side there are kids toys and sometimes bikes. It does feel like an estate sale/goodwill outlet vibe as some things are organized but also kinda random. The layout reminds me of a flea market in an another country. Unlike Out of the Closet and Lifelong in which you know the exact price of a record or a vintage binocular here you have to ask. I think this is part of the thrill of the search but also asking yourself how much you want to pay for this. Service is good and staff are chill and laid back. If you're around Lake city I would encourage stopping in. It's a nice refresher from the dated xxx shop next door, drug deals happening outside, and fentanyl slumps you see.

Unfortunately this and every option similar is pretty terrible. Let me save you the time of driving out there. Didn't really find anything that was worth buying.

Honestly though, with that being said the others I went to were even worse so I give this one props for at least resembling a swap meet.
