And honestly, every time I've come here, it still feels like I don't have enough time to make it through each section and floor of the market to properly see and enjoy everything. So I'll just have to keep coming back to explore more haha. One of my favorite discoveries has been how dog-friendly so many of the businesses were. A few of the vendors even offered my dog a treat, which was the nicest thing ever! Getting to try samples like apple cider, different types of vinaigrettes to dip your bread into, and beef jerky is always a win, and such a fun way to find new favorites!! Plus, there are plenty of great views and fun sights throughout the market if you're open to wandering around the different levels. Just a heads-up: it definitely gets crowded, especially on weekends!!

Ended up with an 8 hour layover in Seattle so decided to explore a little bit instead of rotting…read moreaway in SeaTac. Getting to Pike Place is super easy on public transit from the airport - it's direct there and under an hour away. Very user-friendly. The market itself can be explored in a couple of hours. I didn't get to see the famous "fish throwing" unfortunately but I did get to check out a number of stores. Places are very generous with samples. I tried bread with a few different balsamic vinegars and oils, salmon, truffle spreads and salt, and apple juice. The area around the market is very walkable and felt safe and clean. Prices are reasonable and it's easy to pick up souvenirs for friends. There are a wide variety of sundries available and most shops had airplane-friendly packaging. Also nearby is the famous gum wall (disgusting!) and the original Starbucks. Restrooms are plentiful although I found them to be a little unsavory in terms of cleanliness. The stall doors were also weirdly short? I'm a modest 5'3" and I found myself towering over them. Worth a stop if you're in the area. Very fun vibes.

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!

If you enjoy the food there may take a bit longer. The Santa is in the house for kid and family photos. There is a cover warehouse for dining area. For the cold day, it is a good feature. There is a time to time bubble snow in the center of the market. For the food I like the Parmesan noodle that hot scrap and mixed in the spot. I also like the skew bbq meat. There are plenty of food vendors. That includes the hot chocolate, chimney cake, molding chocolate, Asian food, kabab and more. The decorations all over the market. Plenty of photo spot. The night ticket is more expensive than the day ticket. For this cold day, I prefer the daytime visit.

There were a ton of people here and the lines for food were also long. There are plenty of vendors but coming from seeing the European Christmas Markets, this needs to get better and larger.

It made me feel like next year I will probably have a Europe Chridtmas holiday again.

When it comes to accessibility, the University District Farmers Market is pretty easy to get to…read more It's close to the UW campus and the U District light rail station, just a couple blocks north on University Wy (The Ave). 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.

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.

It's alright, not much stuff I would buy, did see a knife sharpener vendor, but I left my 8" knife at home. A handful of food vendors, sweet treat vendors etc. We honestly hung out in this area for like 20 mins or so, did a couple laps and we were out. Certain streets were closed off so it was nice walking in the street. Overall, something may pique your interest, esp the food vendors, may be worth checking it out.

Rather than behave in a…read moremanner respectful of the locals, they ruin everyone's Saturdays by using high powered loudspeakers to blast music at levels inimical to human life and wellbeing. Not only does this flagrantly violate our local noise ordinances, but it's literally so loud that song lyrics can be clearly heard through closed double paned windows from multiple blocks away. Numerous requests from local residents to turn the music down to a more reasonable level have been ignored. I guess the people who run this don't care that they are ruining the lives of the thousands of people who live nearby, but if you care at all about walkable urban neighborhoods, the businesses complicit in destroying them in pursuit of a quick buck don't deserve your patronage.

A pleasant surprise! I hadn't ever tried a guava empanada but I go for anything guava flavored so it was a must for me. The cream cheese and sweet guava jam was a perfect duo. I highly recommend trying this one but a cono was also looking mighty delicious. I also had the most amazing watermelon fruit juice made from watermelons from farmers at this market. As soon as I heard that, I wanted it. It was like adding a tap to a watermelon it tasted so good! This was a smaller market with an okay amount of vendors but just two rows to stroll through. The location though is beautiful and right by the water and park so it gets busy. The parking lot to the side was a mess with traffic but across the street there is tons of additional parking that was way easier.

This market also has many other stalls like Organic Soaps, Kombucha, beer, bakery item , plant stalls and so many other different items on sale.

We missed the Ice cream trucks and Popcorn trucks this time and hopefully they are back soon! we enjoyed the Chicken Tacos at the Puerto Ensenada food truck and the Pesto chicken wrap at Blinchiki Food truck. Parking is limited and gets full at the Juanita beach park but there is plenty of parking in the off-road parking lot on the opposite side of the park!
