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. Even if I did there was no great pricing. Kinda wish there were at least some food options, but yeah nothing. 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.

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.

Things no on told me about the Packwood flea market: 1…read more There isn't much to be found in terms of antique furniture. 2. If you come early enough to get a good parking spot (I arrived an hour early) don't get a spot right at the edge of the market. You'll be closer to the stalls with good stuff if you go further in to find a parking spot. 3. If you show up an hour early for your parking spot. You'll be twiddling your thumbs for a while because about half of the stalls won't open until a solid hour after the OFFICIAL start time of the flea market. 4. This flea market is ENORMOUS. It practically encompasses the entire town of Packwood. Be prepared to walk a lot if you want to see everything. Some things to bring to make your experience more comfortable:​ -sunscreen -talc powder and blister-proof socks -water or sportsdrink -energy drink - eyemask and ear plugs for a car nap

Welllllll we went we saw we tried not to touch and we left. The food was much better once we got to…read morethe center of the swap meet. I suggest starting in the middle and working your way out. We started on the outside which consisted of nothing but severely used "goods". I don't suggest it unless you are looking for props for a play or something along those lines. Gag gifts maybe? Not sure. Once we got to the middle though, there were some decent tents and tables. I was shocked at the lack of homemade goods. To every five or six used goods tents/tables there was like one tent with new items or homemade goods. I don't think we'll go back. It was a lot of walking with not a lot of reward. Oh! And bring TP or baby wipes. They only have port-o-potties and we didn't find one all day that had TP in it.

Although not in service at the time of writing, there is a salon inside where you could get your hair done accompanied by a drink (or two!) Loads of unique vendors with classic toys, handmade jewelry, statues, with knickknacks and bric-a-brac galore. Definitely stop by, meet some friendly faces, grab a cocktail, take some pictures, and leave with a new treasure to decorate your home. Very fun place!

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.

The market moves under the bridge during the winter and I can't speak to that experience but I love it when the sun's out on Sundays in Fremont!
