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.

Super cool antique store and flea market! Lots of great people, fun stuff to look at, beautiful…read moreviews and loads of antiques from days gone by. 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!

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

This place is MASSIVE! You wanna go super early like at least 45 mins before they open, to get…read moreparking. Most lots are $10 for the day and cash only. Most vendors are also cash only, tons of food vendors, freeze dried candies, lots of old and new antique and power tools, clothes and random knick knacks.. and tacos lol.. tons of taco vendors. Took us about 4 hours to walk thru half of the tents. Wear layers, comfy shoes, bring a wagon for sure. People were super friendly and although some prices were way too high, others were willing to make a bargain.

These guys think they're selling gold! I wouldn't go here it would be a terrible waste of your…read moretime. The prices are above and beyond too high for what they have. Also there was someone's rotting fruit just sitting amongst the items for sale not too far from where u first enter. Gross!

An excellent flea market that we didn't know about! It is kind of situated in a part of downtown…read moreOlympia that we don't normally park in when we are in town which is why we didn't know about previously. There is all kinds of great merchandise here that a flea market lover would have a heyday with. I found some great "dust collector" items that would add a nice touch of decor to our home. In one corner of the store there is a pretty decent book section as well. This flea market isn't necessarily in a huge space but there is a lot of merchandise here so take your time browsing through it. I did more than one pass in some parts of the store and found new merchandise to examine that I missed prior. The staff here are extremely friendly and approachable which makes this flea market all the more pleasant!

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.
