The Best Markets In Seattle Washington

Seattle has seen a boom in neighborhood farmers’ markets since the 1990s, and they can now be found in nearly every neighborhood of the city, as a way for shoppers to buy sustainably grown produce, and find the freshest vegetables in town. Even if you’re not buying groceries, Seattle markets are the best place to enjoy savory street food, admire local art and trades, and get out of the house for a weekend. Below is our list of our favorite markets in Seattle.

Musicians at Columbia City Farmers Market

Pike Place Market

It may be known for its salmon pitching fishmongers and as the site of the original Seattle Starbucks, but Pike Place Market is also where you can ‘meet the producers’ who set up their stalls to sell the freshest and tastiest fruits, vegetables, herbs, honey, nuts, and berries for every season. All farmers grow their crops on land they own or lease from all over the State of Washington. This includes foraged foods like mushrooms and truffles. There’s plenty to do, even if you aren’t shopping for groceries, you’ll have the chance to taste many local honeys, watch fresh Alaskan halibut fly across the fishmonger’s stall as customers place their order, and ogle at the fresh cut flowers and bouquets in the stalls.
