Nothing encapsulates summer in the Pacific Northwest quite like a bouquet of freshly cut peonies in your hand and a mound of juicy produce on your table. Farmers markets are back in full swing this summer! Everything from zucchinis to honey to funky pet leashes are sold, as the markets celebrate the work of local growers and craftsmen by providing a place for communities to gather and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Washington State has over 140 farmers markets, with a high concentration in the greater Seattle area. With markets running nearly every day of the week, get your taste buds ready for sampling, and maybe come home a little fuller, a little healthier, and a little more thankful for your community.
Market Highlights
Tacoma: Rated the tenth best farmers market in America according to The Daily Meal, this positive market full of diverse vendors also includes “free community events on-site.”
Everett: This waterfront market lets you stroll the piers of Everett’s scenic marina while shopping and enjoying live music.
Bothell: Located in rustic Country Village, Bothell’s farmers market provides plenty of shopping in a charming, country-themed setting. Kiddos can feed the ducks too!
