Produce vendor in the corner
Maggie L.

Dog-friendly indoor market with vendors that sell produces, baked goods, plants, wellness products, and more. There are also a few places that sell food. There is always a long line waiting for Mexican food. Parking gets full on the weekend. You may have to park in the garage and walk over.

The Waterfront Market at Point Ruston is a nice change of pace for the Tacoma area. There isn't much for specialty items for food or gifts that have a personalized touch and your next best option is just going to the mall for gift shopping. There is a variety of different food vendors here with food trucks, a coffee shop, a meat shop, gourmet peanuts and nuts and more! There are permanent vendors here throughout the week and more pop up during the weekend. I don't come here too terribly often but I did notice on their website some weekend vendors listed were not there on the last weekend I went there. So I am not sure if the weekend vendors vary from weekend to weekend or if the website is outdated in regards to vendors that no longer participate at this location. Well, despite that it's still fun to pop in here once in a while as it's refreshing pace change with shopping for the area. Summers are especially fun to come here but it's very enjoyable anytime of the year.

There are different stall and they offer an array of vendors that sells clothes, candles, arts & crafts, bags, food, cookies, pastries, flowers and so much more. It seems to be different every time we go there. It's a must see and experience. The ambience is very welcoming and the vendors are nice.

Cora's Seafood! Right out front of the market!

it's OK. Basically, it's like a mini version of pike place market in Seattle. And it would be worth going to at least once.

You can not travel to Seattle and not come here. It's a tourist dream spot! But I have to say if I…read morewas a local I'd still be here often getting all my produce, meats and other goodies! I can't think of anything I would need outside of this market. We went it was a beautiful day, during the week. So crowd was not as bad as I assume it is on the weekends. But we decided to do a market food tour, which I would highly recommend doing The market is a nice size and I know for sure if we had not done the food we would of missed some things. The tour was also nice because we got to skip lines in some popular spots for food tasting and samples. Loved seeing them throw the fish. Sad they don't throw to non employees anymore but still a great show. All the stands provided samples and tastings. The flowers were beautiful and well priced. I could go on an on, but I would definitely save a day or two if visiting Seattle to visit, shop, eat, drink and just get some steps in. Lot of the places ship, I did ship home some expensive salmon, but hey when in Seattle ..lol

Lady working at the Rummage Hall in Pike Place is definitely racist and very aggressive to POC. I…read morefelt uncomfortable and unwelcome here. I am posting this to Pike Place Yelp to ensure it does not fly under the radar. For a welcoming and non-discriminatory city like Seattle, this was shocking. I hope the Pike Place Market takes this very seriously. ---- My friend and I were looking at the racks outside and the woman with a thick European accent came out and immediately scolded us for having an almost empty cup in our hand near her clothing. We said we didn't know, and where are the signs that say this? She pointed and we apologized we didn't see the signs before. We walked away from her clothing finished the drink and put down the cup where she told us to. When we walked inside, she followed us around, it was uncomfortable. I saw a scarf I was interested in purchasing and asked how much it was. She grabbed it from me, pulled out a bin that was labelled $45 and folded it up and put it away???? She did not ask me if I wanted it, SHE TOOK IT FROM ME AND PUT IT AWAY! I was shocked, I have never experienced this before. Then my friend went up to her with full intent of purchasing a jacket. She told her she found it in the $25 rack, and the woman immediately began yelling at her and said "NO YOU DID NOT, IT IS NOT $25, THE RACK STARTS AT $25!!" It was clear she did not want us in her store, and did not want to sell us anything because she was racist. When non-POC were in the store she was friendly and talkative. With us she was plain rude and discriminatory. We walked back outside to check the rack where my friend got the jacket from, the woman followed us out and yelled at us to take our trash, we said we are still looking at the clothing. I would never go to the Rummage Hall again, and suggest POC do not spend hard earned money here. Completely disrespectful for no reason.

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.

I was so happy to have a flea market near us as I love going to San Jose for their flea market! The…read morelocation is easy to get to and parking is cheap. The food was great but all the stuff that was being sold was too expensive. Overall, I would go there just to eat but it's not a great flea market.
