West Seattle Farmers Market

One of my favorite local farmers markets in the city. I love visiting the West Seattle Farmers Market. They have a nice selection of vendors. Wonderful shops parking is easy.

One of the best farmers markets in the area, there are a lot of actual farmers with vegetables, fruit, some amazing cider, meat, cheese, and baked goods (get there early if you want any bread because it sells out). Not nearly as many arts and crafts booths compared to some other farmers markets around here, this one is all about the food and drink

Definitely a go-to market, farmers market, vendors on the street affair. Very expensive but that's the way it is. Super nice and friendly vendors and plenty of them. Not too much repetition (only 2 vegetable vendors). Specialty foods are big deal here. Things you wouldn't normally see anywhere else. Coffee shops at end for WC break. Parking on the streets, not too bad. Open year round, rain or shine, snow or sun. Fun place to go. Lots of dogs around for patting.

A fun place to meet local farmers and to support local economy. Seasonal flowers, vegetables, spices, honey, jam, bread etc. Very happy shoppers and friendly vendors. Lots of fruits and vegetables even in winter. I picked up some Xmas gifts here. 2018 Jan visits: lots of apples and pears stands. Good winter vegetables selections. Kale, carrots, turnips, mushrooms. Quail eggs too! Always fun to visit. 2018 June visit: lots of fresh fruit and flower stands. Love the soup and ice cream too!

First time here, new to the area. Everyone is so friendly, helpful, and generous with sampling and knowledge about their product. I bought fresh local honey, potatoes, cheese, apples, a beautiful flower bouquet, and the most DELICIOUS grapes in a little paper bag I was able to walk around with and eat as I browsed. 10/10 would recommend to anyone local to West Seattle or even farther away!

Good vendors, but too crowded (on a nice weather day) to be enjoyable. Lots of dogs that aren’t good with crowds (some getting into fights, some jumping on people) add a layer of chaos that isn’t fun. This market also had a lot of toddlers and strollers, making simply walking from A to B a bit challenging. If you’re there for legit groceries and not so much the kids/pets vibe, go early and avoid the chaos. Public restroom not available, it’d be nice if they had something.

Real local experience. We love visiting with whole family. Cheese, berries, vegetables, meats! And the atmosphere is very special here. You might think this food is no different from the local shops, but trust me — it’s better. Especially the berries, the smell and taste — it’s a whole different level. And it always feels good contributing to the community ❤️

Loved the place. Lots of vendors, friendly atmosphere. Food is overpriced and average in quality, but lots of food restaurants on the same street. I would go here again.

A year-round farmers market in a cosy, walkable street with characterful browsing-friendly shops? Yessss This market is accessible by public transit very easily (The C express line from the ferry station downtown Seattle brings you here in 15 minutes). Lovely dried and fresh flowers, mushrooms, pasture-raised meats, vegetables, and of course eats like tamales. An absolutely delightful experience because that city block is itself wonderful to be able to step into antique stalls, thrift stores, and bourgeois gift stores. Nearby dining options lend their menus to the fun farmer's market stalls. A gem of an experience if you want to delve into a neighborhood that is not the rather northerly Ballard (which also has a year round and much more sophisticated and extensive farmer's market)

I was visiting Seattle and wanted to check out a Farmer's Market on the weekend. This market is close to Bakery Nouveau (please go try it if you haven't), an awesome bakery I visited twice in 3 days. Anyway... First thing I noticed was the strict control on the number people who are allowed in at one time. As a result, there was a decent-sized line at noon on a Sunday. I applaud them for doing a good job of maintaining social distancing and keeping people safe. Fortunately the line went by quickly, we waited about 10-15 minutes. I heard from the vendors that this market was a lot bigger before the pandemic with lots of ready-to-eat food vendors. Now it has reduced to just 1 block, with vendors mostly selling fresh produce (fruit, vegetables, mushroom, etc.) and a few selling baked goods. I got some Rainier cherries. Cherry season was long over in California when I visited at the beginning of July, so I was help to pay $5/pound for it. In short, it's a good place to browse and buy some fresh produce if you live nearby.

Recently went to the West Seattle Farmers Market with my family and had so much fun! It runs year round on Sundays from 10 am - 2 pm. No excuse not to check them out! It's a fairly large market which I love. You can spend a good hour or so here checking everything out. They've got your standard market fare with flowers, fruits, veggies, meats, fish, etc. They've also got vendors featuring wine, ciders, and more. Bonussss. You can also skip breakfast (or brunch!) and nibble along the market. They've got so many yummy options to choose from whether you're craving something sweet or savory. Another thing that's nice about this farmers market is the location. It's on a street in West Seattle where there's really cute gift shops and restaurants - so you can really extend your trip here if you wanted to. Highly recommend. Can't wait to go back and see what new goodies they have!

Super solid farmer's market, and neighborhood parking around it isn't too bad. Love the flowers options, tons of fresh produce people and multiple mushroom stands (one of the stands apparently sells Lion's Mane all year round). Currently they have beautiful dahlias, lobster mushrooms, chanterelles, and heirloom tomatoes. We love the various vendors who have fresh pork, chicken, and even sometimes rabbit! You can also find quail eggs here for a super reasonable price. They do allow dogs.

At the West Seattle Farmers Market you'll find flowers, fruit, vegetables, fresh fish and meat, pastries, cheese and prepared foods. There are also cider, beer and wine vendors offering tastings. Occasionally there will be craft or art vendors but not common at this market. Usually a couple buskers playing with some very talented. This market is on a portion of California Ave which is closed during the market. I'm not sure why but there is a bit more walking space on the East side. It can get crowded on the West side with strollers, dogs and folks. A nice part of the market is the location with many of the shops lining California open for business. On this section you'll find antique stores, a book shop, record store, restaurants, bars, home decor, coffee of course, an excellent French bakery and a popular beer store/bar. Bit the biggest but highly recommended if your in the area on a Sunday.

Great hot food as well as produce options! A few flower vendors here and there but not as great as Pike's Place flower vendors. Loved the fact that they blocked off the street to set up the market right in the middle of a great block full of shopping on either side!

This is my second favourite farmers market (Ballard is still the first) I really enjoy west seattle because parking is still free and easy to find close to the market. It's also in the middle of the main drag where Cupcake Royale and a few cute gift stores are. If you have time, you should also go to Bakery Noveau for dessert across the street.

5-Stars for being open every Sunday through the fall and winter months, when other farmers markets are closed! 4-Stars for The variety of fruits and vegetables available. I bought "sunchokes" for the first time in my life, took them home and cooked them up right away. We loved them. 2-Stars for the $3/lb. price on most everything. That really raises the question of "source". I have to doubt that every booth is a farmer. Some displays of fruits and vegetables were so clean, perfectly sized and graded, and obviously commercially packaged, to be straight from a farm. I'm sure they come from large wholesale fruit suppliers. But over all, this is a fun way to spend a Sunday after church or breakfast-on-main street. Especially when you find a unique vendor specialty, like mushrooms, honey, custom sauces and sweets!

Lovely market except their difficulty participating willingly in the low-income programs. I have helped a gentleman who through a WA state lottery won in the WA State Senior Farmer's market Nutrition Program. He excitedly swiped his EBT card at the information tent, got $20 for $10 in tokens. It was heartbreaking to see him go stall to stall only to be refused for the tokens AND $4 coupons. As a Native American, his feelings were hurt by young "snooty" vendors who's precious expensive vegetables were too exclusive for him. Furthermore, he still has unspent tokens and coupons. He asked to be taken to Safeway where he said "they don't judge me for my food stamps". He has lived in West Seattle longer than most of the vendors. The West Seattle Farmers Market has grown to have year around stalls and most importantly, they have the EBT program straightened out so my fixed income friend is happy with shopping there. Some of the vendors still can be a little snooty with upscale gentleman farmer attitudes but we go to the nice ones who gracefully help him count out the tokens and bucks the program uses. Super good produce even if they are very expensive.

Since the "expansion" (i.e. move from the parking lot behind Key Bank to California Ave SW), the market has become a lot more diverse and interesting than what it was when it was crammed into the lot.. Frankly, most Farmers Markets around Seattle, are generally similar, and the West Seattle version pretty much fits the mold. There are the flower booths, lots of fresh fruits and veggies, some cheese, some clothes/nick-nacks, pretty much the usual. The West Seattle Market is year-round, however, so even in winter, if you have a hankering for a market run, keep this in mind. Since they are now on California Ave. SW between Alaska and Oregon, that section of street is shut. Parking in the Junction area can be a challenge on Sundays, but it's all good if you're willing to walk a few blocks and park down the hill west of the Junction.

Many good options here if you are looking for food ready to eat. I really liked Beep Boop bagels - nice chew and soft interior on the salt bagel. Apple cider here is good. Probably 50-75 vendors available here.

It's very nice to have an all-year-round farmer's market to attend to at this cold and rainning weather. We have been to West Seattle Farmers market for quite a few times. It's not very big and the parking space is limited, but they sure have lots of nice stands providing variety of farmers products. Vegetables, flowers, cheese, bakery, honey, wine, cider...all local, organic, fresh and delicious. At summer, it's simply nice to walk along people, taste some samples of cheese and honey, get a pound or two of fresh radish for salad, a dozen of flowers for the living room, a cookie for the kid...While dong these, you know that not only they're fresh and organic, but you're also supporting the local business. I will definitely return soon. Pictures uploaded to yelp.

This Farmers Market has lots of the same vendors you'll find at other local markets. There are flowers, plants, baked goods (lots of these), cheese, vegetables, fruit, fresh pasta, meat and seafood. Also a number of local organizations were represented. There is surprisingly little produce at this market. The balloon man was there making balloon animals for the kids for free. There was live music. There is a horse-drawn cart taking people for a spin around West Seattle. A very nice little market and a great place to go on a sunny, Sunday morning. Big shout out to Coffee to a Tea with Sugar http://www.yelp.com/biz/aWdF0IyUVjmIqKSoC121zA?hrid=jUNj6Kg1L3D_q9pvut4rLA who were giving out coupons and a half dozen flavors of free mini cupcakes. They were really tasty.

Wow! This is what a farmer's market should be like. Tons of produce (unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the fall veggies) - that was beautiful to look at. I t was all food which was nice (I hate when the kids want the chessy, overpriced arts and crafts items and then whine about it). I have to say alot of things were quite pricey (especially the meats/fish and fruits) but I guess you have to pay for quality. I went specifically to get honey from Rockridge Orchards (unfortunately, they were not at my regular farmer's market this year) and also ended up with several other items. Will definitely go back!

I like going to farmers markets for the flowers. You can usually find a beautiful bouquet for about $5 to $15 at this market. I ended up coming here to get a couple of bouquets on Mother's Day. The vendors ended up jacking the price up to $20 a $30 a bouquet. But there was one vendor that sold them for $15 that day. Still it was a good deal compared to the florists or grocery stores. You can also find organic in season produce, seafood, farm fresh meats, goat milk, eggs and fresh baked breads and pastries. I ended up getting a cheese and spinach empanada. The pastry was more like phyllo dough but was very tasty. Parking is free in the designated parking lots. This farmers market isn't that big but it is okay. They have moved the market onto California Ave between SW Alaska and SW Oregon St.

Vendors run the entire block. Decent selection of grocery as well as prepared food vendors. Previous reviews gave me the feeling that this farmers market would be small and parking would be easy to find. The market isn't small as it stretches the length of a fairly long block. Half grocery (veggies / fruits / meats / eggs / flowers) and half prepared food (falafel / ginger beer / beer and wine / cheese / baked goods). Street parking seems to be the nemesis of Seattlites but it is available within a 2-block radius. I'm always on the lookout for mushrooms and finally found 1 vendor after striking out at 3 other farmers markets! Prices are decent if you buy more than 1. ;)

I enjoyed my first time visit to this farmers market. It's a street farmers market and a majority of the shops remain open ( the street is blocked off). There are organic veggies, vegan breads, beautiful flowers ($10 for a huge bouquet)...the vendor I went to designed a bouquet upon my request, hot foods, ginger beer, apple cider and every vendor I visited was helpful. There was live entertainment, it's dog friendly and plenty of free parking is available.

First of all, I was able to park w/in a block of it w/o any trouble. I could just end this review right there. (Early) Spring offerings: wooly pig meat, honey, goat, organic chicken, pickled green beans (I would like you all to meet my new bff), preserves, cheese, potatoes, cheese, flowers, organic eggs, turnips, cheese, honey... a few other things that I'm not remembering. I hope the selection broadens a bit as we get into produce season -- I'll be stopping by to find out.

To me this is the smallest of all the Seattle area Farmer's Markets. My first visit was last Sunday, and I found that the market has the regulars from University, Ballard, and the Wallingford Farmer's Market. I spied- Tiny's Organic, Holmquist Hazelnuts, the pasta guy, the cheese people, a few flower stands, a few fruit stands with really only apples, the apple juice people, and a few shellfish people. On our visit we tasted some cheese (the one with ash was good!) and a few hazelnuts. With our hazelnut tasting we received a education on new breeds they are coming up with in collaboration with OSU. I wouldn't make a special trip for this market. If I am in the area and need a apple or a few plants then I would make a stop off.

My husband and I have committed to use as little plastic as possible, buy local and overall reduce our footprint. We decided to visit the West Seattle Farmers market on a whim yesterday to see what was available and if we should incorporate a weekly visit into our routine (we shop for groceries once a week from PCC and a bakery). The market this time of year is small - and I expected that, but I was surprised by a few things. 1) I was intent on getting a bunch of asparagus, since it's in season. When I located a vendor that sold Asparagus, he placed my selected bunch on the scale and quoted the price: $8.95. Now, this was about the size of a normal asparagus bunch I've picked up at PCC or veggie stands for half that price. My husband and I politely declined, a little embarrassed. 2) At dairy stand, I selected to purchase a 10 oz container of Greek yogurt to accompany an Indian rice dish I planned on cooking. Already expensive At $4.50, I handed the vendor $5.50 since I had no $1's. I waited for my change while he continued a conversation he was having. He simply put the cash in the box, and went on with his conversation. After a couple of minutes of waiting to ask for change (again, feeling a little embarrassed) I gave up and walked away (am I supposed to tip too?). 3) At a vendor who sells meat and potatoes we picked up some pork chops on special, bacon and what would equate to a small bag of potatoes from PCC. The meat was reasonably priced, with pork chops at $6.75 lb on special. But they are covered in plastic. My hope was to avoid plastic at a farmers market, not find even more. I noted the price of potatoes in my head, $2.75 lb. I obviously needed some more caffeine because my brain didn't trigger. I had selected about 5 lbs of potatoes (easy to do - again, think small bag of potatoes from PCC or Safeway). The meat altogether was $17. The potatoes was another $17! The vendor did give us a break - everything for $30. At this point I felt to stupid to dump the potatoes back. But wow, I've never paid that much for potatoes in my life. Nor do I plan on doing so again soon! We spent $50 in very short order for a PCC tote barely half full. I thought the idea of buying direct from the farmer was to cut the middle man out, support local growers and be active in your community - and of course get some great local food. While I'm willing to pay a premium for good food (we almost always buy organic produce, always grass fed beef, real farm eggs, etc.), the prices here were just a little ridiculous. It really saddened me. How can I argue against people who claim healthy food is too expensive for the working class when I myself feel fleeced after a stroll through the farmers market? We drove to the West Seattle Produce Stand and found asparagus for $3.99 a bunch - same size. We normally frequent the Kent and Renton farmers market when they are in season - and have always come away satisfied with the friendly vendors and excellent produce. We visited West Seattle because it's open year round. After this experience though, I won't be visiting West Seattle's farmer market again anytime soon.

I think of farmers markets as being overpriced for what they offer, but the quality is better and it is farm fresh. The West Seattle Farmers Market takes place every Sunday. Yes, this is year round! It is kind of a small market. I happen to come by here every so often when there is West Seattle Summer Fest. But happened to be in the area yesterday since I was reviewing a bakery in the area. Guess which one. The setup is small. There are probably a handful of vendors selling produce, while the rest are selling an array of items including baked goods, honey, spices, fish, meat, cheese and eggs. I guess you could find everything you need here, but that is a pricey proposal. But really when compared to say Metropolitan Market, I found several of the places comparable. I picked up at the Whistling Train Farm booth, a huge bunch of leeks and a moderate size of pea shoots (a.k.a. pea vines) for under $5. There was other things like arugula, mizuna and basil which seemed competitively priced. Not I-District competitive, but it seems the selection here skews toward specialty produce which provides differentiation and appeals more to the Whole Foods buyer. I saw a few other things that interested here. Cheeses looked interesting and there was a Czech pastry stand and a Tall Grass bread booth. A decent place to shop for food stuff on a Sunday morning if you are in West Seattle. Otherwise, I would recommend venturing to the farmers market in your neighborhood instead.

I'm giving WS Farmers Market 5 stars because I love what ALL Farmers Markets mean and give to the communities that they serve and also because it's the market in my hood. Our Neighborhood Farmers Market Alliance http://www.seattlefarmersmarkets.org is comprised of seven Farmers Markets (West Seattle, University District, Broadway, Phinney, Columbia City, Magnolia, and Lake City). They're all a little different. And other counties have their collection of Farmers Markets that bring interesting and quality food, beverages, flowers, etc. to the people.

Great farmers market!!! Love the variety of booths! They have everything including cheese, meats, berries, fresh baked goods, wines, ciders, produce and everything in between! Love one stop farmers market shopping! Great location! Had no problem finding parking! I will definitely be returning!!

I visited my first Seattle Farmers Market in Ballard way back when which made it the standard. Thus, the size of the Farmers Market in West Seattle surprised me. They fit the market into a parking lot behind the Key Bank on the southwest corner of the Alaska Junction. You will see the same vendors every Sunday: empanadas, micro-broccoli, Samish Bay cheese, a butcher, several fruit and vegetable stands, roasted peppers, apple cider, Honest Biscuit, a florist, Tall Grass Bakery. local honey and European pastries. It's very handy for locals to pick up organic vegetables, breads or snacks, doing last minute weekend chores. If you're looking for trinkets, jewelry, art, candles, leatherwork, clothing or soap you are better off heading to Ballard or Fremont. A 3.5 to 4 star stop, depending on what you look for in a farmers market. I'm glad they're there.

WONDERFUL! Help support your local farmers. Nothing better than eating organic FRESH fruits and vegetables. Really friendly vendors. GO ORGANIC !! DOWN WITH MONSANTO !! Peace

A good way to find some fresh, organic produce and buy farm fresh meats. Not just "by West Seattle for West Seattle," this event features a few out of the way farms / merchants and attracts folks from well beyond the Junction. The farmers market is a great way to exercise the pooches. Folks who don't care for dogs are going to be hard-pressed to avoid them. A few food carts are mixed in, but this really isn't supposed to be a lunch spot. Catch lunch before or after at one of the many sidewalk cafes. Things start to shut down around 1:30, so its wise to come early (closer to 11 than to 1) for the best selection. Recommend and will return.

I love that the West Seattle Farmer's Market is open year round (every Sunday from 10-2). It's a bit small, but they have a large variety of products. I've seen shellfish, handmade cheeses, frozen meat, flower bouquets, pastries, honey, homemade caramels, dried fish, fruits, vegetables, muffins. There's everything!! Parking is a bit tricky, so walk, ride the bus, or park on a side street, or you may have to take a gamble on a parking spot. It's located right behind California Ave, so you can hit up shops, get brunch, or wander around afterwards!

I love sundays thanks to the West Seattle Farmer's Market. It's within walking distance of my house, so I try to make it a weekly trip. The selection of produce and meat there is amazing. It's a bit overwhelming if you don't have a list thought out before hand. While other yelper's have mentioned a lack of "flair", I have no idea what the hell their talking about. While I don't know what sort of flair their looking for, what you'll find here is great local farmers offering amazing fresh food. Every vendor I've talked to there is deeply passionate about what they bring and are downright eager to tell you not only about their wares, but about how they grew/raised it. For someone like me who is very interested in eating fresh, healthy food from sustainable, local farmers and asks questions about what sort of techniques are used on their farms, the West Seattle Farmer's Market is perfect :)

I visited the West Seattle Farmers Market yesterday while we were at West Seattle Summer Fest. It's a cute little market, with about 2 dozen stalls--a couple cheese, several veggie, a few fruit, a pasta guy, jam/jelly/preservers booth, some seafood. And a guy offering to sharpen your knives for food. Um.....lol. We weren't there to buy necessarily, but a few key items I always look for (berries, apples, and sugar snap peas) were a bit pricey ($4/lb snap peas, is all I can remember) but if that's how the harvest was and these local farmers need to price them as such, then that is fine of course. I did end up buying a large bouquet of flowers for only $5. The same would go for at least twice that at Pike Place, so I was definitely smiling when I left!

Agreeing with the people below me.. this is an awesome market! Vendors are friendly, great selection of produce and the like but also the meat guy... oh the meat guy! This one has the friendliest atmosphere and most eclectic grouping of vendors I think of any in the state. I used to work markets so I've been to quite a few, and I think this one is the best.

Maybe, just maybe if this market was a bit bigger, I would go for a fifth star. You're probably looking at about 15-20 booths if I had to guess. That doesn't give you a ton of options to peruse, but there was plenty of quality to be had. The first thing we noticed was the lack of fresh produce relative to the rest of the products. The selection favored finished goods over anything recently harvested. We noticed a couple of fruit/vegetable stands, but there were far more beverages, cheeses, snacks and seafood to be had. We made the mistake of coming on an empty stomach, which not only meant an increase in purchases, but also led to spontaneous snacking (did I say mistake...?). We sampled one of the empanadas (delicious) and a piece of pie (wasn't the time to be healthy). We also needed to grab some items for dinner as well. We came very close to a filet of salmon from the very knowledgeable purveyors of frozen fish, but ended up settling on two dozen freshly caught oysters, a bottle of tayberry wine and some truffle cheese. The oysters were freshly caught that morning and were delicious at home. We were told they stay fresh for 4 days if covered by a wet paper towel in the fridge, but we ate them within 4 hours so it wasn't a big deal. The tayberry wine, which was new to us, came out of a recommendation. It tasted sweet and a bit syrupy and would probably be delicious heated up.The cheese stand (one among a few) was offering samples and sold a small wheel of the truffle-infused variety. Once you taste it, it is hard to pass up All in all, we were exposed to some quality items and were able to satisfy the need for lunch and could plan ahead for dinner. 5 stars for the quality, but could use some more selection and size.

I'm addicted to Farmer's Markets. It isn't unusual that I stop buy three or four a week - and West Seattle is usually a part of that rotation. It isn't the largest, busiest, or the most diverse - but it has some great staples, friendly people, and great vendors. The location is great - just a block away from the West Seattle Junction so you can easily continue your shopping on California Avenue after the market. The proximity to Great Harvest Bread is great - just a block away from the market. The vendors are fairly typical for a farmers market - fruit/veggies, nuts, meat, fish, with a few bakeries, wine, and cheese stands thrown in for good measure. I do wish it were a bit bigger and a bit more diverse - but I'm sure that it will grow and evolve.

I'll agree with Jessica - very little produce. But when you factor in the market is only filling a single 20 something parking lot it's easy to see why. There are plenty of herbs and flowers, duck eggs, pastries, CHEESE, some tasty looking raspberry wine that I'll be picking up on my next visit, and a gentleman just off to the side who sells baskets to carry it all home in :D

West Seattle Farmer's Market is just so cute that I want to pinch its cheeks! All sorts of great organic fruits and vegetables, flowers, and baked goods. Yum! I don't really do vegan pastries but I had the best vegan chocolate chip cookie here. There are also candles and art. It supports any and every independent business out there. Right on. The only downside is you can't bring dogs into market area. Other than that this farmer's market is great!

I visited the West Seattle Farmers Market for my first (and definitely not my last time) this past Sunday. It's important to mention that the WS Farmers Market is one of only two Seattle farmers markets that are open year-round! Now, if you're going to go to a farmers markets, go with the understanding that you'll be buying from LOCAL producers and farmers. So don't go to a Seattle farmers market in March and expect tangerines and tomatoes...wrong climate, folks. There are plenty of other seasonal wares to entice, however, and I left the market with my shopping bag (resuable, natch) filled with apples, pears, kale, spinach, Yukon Gold potatoes, cheeses made in Pt. Townsend, and eggs from pastured chickens!

Sunday! This is so cool to have here every week. Always great farm fresh food, flowers and fun! I like to try different things and found some really amazing Micro Arugula. Smoked Oysters among all of the other regular Farmers Market items.

Great community event with all kinds of food. There are plenty of food stands to provide lunch on Sunday and farm produce from the local farms.

This is a year-round farmer's market, and I've gone every Sunday from Nov 1 - Feb 10, so I've only seen the late Fall/Winter offerings. That's usually the lean time for farmer's markets, but this location always has several offerings. I consistently see: fish, goat and cow dairy products (cheese, yogurt, etc), free-range and grass-fed meats, eggs (chicken and duck), produce (the usual fair with the season- right now it's lettuce greens, apples, pears, and root veggies), ready to eat foods and sweets, and some miscellaneous product (like flowers or cider). I know they have holiday events here, and summertime specialty stuff. The info booth is exceptionally helpful (they even gave me canning pectin when I chatted with them about it!), and the folks who man this farmer's market are polite and happy...even when freezing. My boyfriend LOVES the pickled salmon at the fish seller booth, and the kimchi at the jelly/sauce booth that also sells eggs (sorry, I can't recall the names). I've never had a bad experience with the apple/pear booth, the mushroom booth, or the large dairy booth (which has the most AMAZING yogurt ever).

This is the place you need to spend your Sunday mornings! Do you need milk? They've got it! Eggs? They've got it! Organic dog bones? They've got you covered on that too! It's a great place to wander even if you don't buy anything.

Best smoked fish I've ever tried and I've tried many! Poke is really good too - large pieces of fresh fish in it!

Kind of a small farmer's market compared to others around Seattle, but still adequate if you are there just to buy some fresh fruits and vegetables. I am not sure about how fair the prices are for all the products being sold, but the flowers that were sold looked very nice and for $7 you can get one big bunch. The market is open year round so it is great for the residents who live close by in West Seattle for their produce.

Beet and goat cheese muffins? Black Bean Theo Chocolate Brownies? Ummm.... please! Those two baked goods (which happen to be some of my favorite items ever) and much more can be found at West Seattle Farmer's Market. While smaller than others in the greater Seattle area, it's a nice selection with some decent variety. Nice selection of produce, cheese, sweets, baked goods, etc. One vendor even sells kits to grow your own mushrooms. Not sure I would go out of my way to hit up this market but if you're in the area you should definitely check it out!

Probably the most mediocre farmers market of all time. I went for fresh veggies- there was hardly a selection at all- if you want baked goods, or local canned food, or honey sticks, or spices- great spot for you, otherwise... Better luck somewhere else

of all the Seattle farmers markets i love this one the most. first there no trinkets and crafts there, just real farmer market items( weird huh) and some of the best produce I've seen at them. i usually make a weekly visit since there is a flower booth that has the most amazing fresh basil for the best price, after buying all of it to churn into pesto for the winter months we head off to the Austrian pastry table for a poppy seed strudel. i cant remember the name but there is a local cheese and meat vendor that has a 12 month aged Gouda that's worth killing for. and for a few weeks in the summer you can get fresh sweet San marzano tomatoes, well worth the yearly wait. so go often , bring cash, support your local farmer, do not buy all my basil

Overpriced and poor selection. Very disappointed. Kent and Des Moines are better. Save your money.

A mostly-produce farmer's market, with a few stalls selling bouquets and baked goods. I love walking around looking at everything, but for me it's a specialty market as I'd go broke if I really stocked up on fruits and veggies here. Honestly, the organic stuff at the market will suffice. But at the very least, it's fun to walk around with your sig. other sampling the goodies.

Love that this is in my neighborhood! During the winter it can be a bit dicey but the quality of the products are still quite good. So far, the summer is getting very busy and the Market seems to be growing. We have had some of the best cheese we've ever tasted from a booth here and the honeycrisp apple juice is AMAZING! If you're in the neighborhood you should do yourself a favor and stop by.

Too crowded, too many strollers, too many dogs, takes away all the good parking. No need to have this year round; we're in Seattle not Southern California, people! Who in their right mind wants to be walking around outside in October-March to get "fresh" fruit?????

the perfect activity for a sunday morning! it really does depend on the season. i love going in the summer time! when i went in the winter there were less vendors and less people. but in the summer, it's booming. free music performers. local farm vendors everywhere in a parking lot. i can pretty much do all my produce shopping here. grass-fed meat, salmon and fish, cheese, artisan breads, eggs, fruit, veggies, flower bouquets - even knife sharpening! and it's right in the junction so you can grab coffee, browse shops, or get a bite to eat. the perfect thing to do is go to Bakery Nouveau right before or after you hit the farmer's market. support local, support fresh!
