West Seattle Farmers Market

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
