I don't want to be overly critical of what seems like a new venture, but I would concur with the other reviews that this is not at all a "farmers market." My husband and I have spent several weeks in the Pacific Northwest this year and have enjoyed many, many farmers markets in Oregon and Washington and definitely consider them some of the best in the country. We were hoping to attend Everett's farmers market yesterday, but with traffic we weren't going to make it in time. I saw the listing for the one in Marysville so we decided to swing by. There were only 4 booths - one had cut flowers, one had plants, one had popcorn, and another had some kind of hand-made items, I think perhaps brooms/broom handles. There was no food of any kind available. While earlier reviews mention the time of year and harvest, I feel like it's basically peak right now (late July) - everywhere you go there are blueberries, cherries, strawberries, and cherries available, as well as a wide variety of local veggies. Plus, this area is known for seafood, beef, dairy, etc., and fresh eggs are ubiquitous, so I just can't understand why there are no local farmers/producers participating. Perhaps this should be called a "Makers Market" or something else if they aren't going to offer any food items. There is a grocery store and coffee shop onsite, so perhaps if you are running errands it's worth a stop, but definitely not a farmers market.
