This place is for those who have extra cash around, so that they could purchase a model of a fetus in various stages of development, at prices comparable to a real fetus. The shop is crammed full of antique-y type stuff, like curio cabinets, funky old chairs, old old opera glasses, animal heads, large boots of bygone years - The sales person is very hands off, and this is a store for browsing, not for people to follow you around, asking if you want to buy some strange-looking objects that resemble ancient butt plugs. Not that I can't appreciate this stuff in all its overpriced glory. I do like the funky collection of items here, but I also can't help but feel that Old Grandma Mabel from over a century ago is looking down on us and laughing that the old magnifying glass used for her rectal exam in 1889 now being sold here for 1000 times its original cost.

Who knew when I awoke yesterday morning that I would walk into this terrific little shop and be so…read moreutterly enthralled with this delightful hodge podge of unique household decor items. I really love finding old medical and scientific nick nacks and furniture and this place has it all. From full sized anatomical models, charts, medical cabinets, signage, etc. I almost forgot to go back out into the streets to enjoy the Sub Pop Records Silver Jubilee festivities. This is a pop-up shop and it is located just to the south of Jules Maes in the building that used to house the Vespa repair shop. It will be open for 60 days here only since it is a Pop-Up shop off of her main showroom on 17th Ave. SW. It may stay open longer than the initial 60 days if it does well. Definitely worth a pop in to the pop-up shop that opened on the Sup Pop Silver Jubilee day.

Some friends took us here, and I really enjoyed just how huge this market was! There were so many…read moredifferent types of vendors: food, drinks, clothing, jewelry, arts & crafts, and more! 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.

I love this year round Sunday market and I'm biased. It is not a true farmers market, a bit more of…read morethe flea market/festival vibes. you'll find food trucks (roasted corn on cob, Jamaican food, boba, pastries, etc), costume jewelry, used/vintage or artisanal clothing, perfumes, stuff for your pets, vintage bags, mirrors, etc. It's really more about vibes, vintage, and supporting local small businesses, you can get your food from the food trucks and sit by the Fremont canal watching the boats (and people) and eat your food. 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!

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.

We'd heard about this place for a couple years and decided to make the 90-minute drive to check it…read moreout. We expected acres and acres of deals, but this was more of a self-contained K-Mart Parking lot. The online add said the hours extended to 6pm, but the website said 5pm. We arrived at 4pm and several vendors were packing up. I remember going to the Midway Swap Meat in Kent at the old Drive in. The place the inspired the Sir Mix A lot song, "Swap Meet Louie". It was 2-3x the size with an indoor area, so my expectation for this place was the same. What I saw was a lot of tools. Mostly used, but some new. A little bit of clothing and a lot of collectables like sports card, Pokémon and matchbox cars. There were also a lot of ethnic food stands and limited produce. For a dollar, you can't complain, but it wasn't worth the long traffic abused ride. I saw a couple things I was interested in and almost bought, then google search showed me I could find them new for less. The two items I did buy, were a great deal. Great place to find gift ideas, just make sure you know the value of what you're buying.

While I've never purchased here, I have to say the walk through is one of the most unique and remarkable places to browse in all of Georgetown, which is saying a lot since Georgetown is already the epicenter for the unique and remarkable in Seattle. I have always had a crush on the creatives of this world, for their ability to see things that, while I can appreciate and be inspired by, I could not put together myself. Its a intangible talent to make beauty tangible. To create and transform a space. You walk in here, and everything is unique, and its placed in such a way that makes you see an already one-of-a-kind item, differently. Its not just a furniture store for the reclaimed and upcycled, Kirk Albert has some really almost revolutionary transformations going on, like turning a vintage bowling alley into a long, gorgeous communal table by adding enormous, industrial-type legs. Turning old reclaimed wood into a one of a kind console by by breathing new life into it with a balanced set of Frankenstein shop legs. He incorporates found items like a giant ten foot long hanging hammer (take that, boring home office!) to a humorously disturbing John Basquiat meets Frances Bacon framed 3-D tormented man, to possibly hang over your VIctorian fireplace. This shop is very expensive, no doubt about it. Its not for everyone. I mean when have you ever struck out to shop for a six foot tall, black, turn of the century Moose Lodge sign? But for those who like to think outside the box, one piece here could boost your home decorating prowess. Kirk Albert has a curator's eye, a unique and inspiring way of looking at objects that could potentially transform your living space.

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.
