What to expect on MARKET days
Each market day features its own unique mix of vendors offering seasonal fruits and vegetables, cut flowers, fresh meats and seafood, artisan foods, handmade goods, and ready-to-eat cuisine.
All vendors grow or make the products they sell, and everything at the market comes from within Washington State. When you shop here, you’re directly supporting local farms and producers. Be sure to come early for the best selection!
You’ll also find live local music, fun activities for kids, and community programs woven throughout the afternoon. It’s easy to stop in for a quick shop — and just as easy to stay awhile and enjoy the energy.
If it’s your first visit, start at the Information Booth. We’re happy to answer questions, explain food benefit programs, and help you get oriented.
