The National Farmers Market Coalition defines a farmers market as one which "operates multiple times per year and is organized for the purpose of facilitating personal connections that create mutual benefits for local farmers, shoppers, and communities. To fulfill that objective farmers markets define the term local, regularly communicate that definition to the public, and implement rules/guidelines of operation that ensure that the farmers market consists principally of farms selling directly to the public products that the farms have produced."

Our seven Neighborhood Farmers Markets are local, food-and-farmer-only markets.  For our markets, this means we sell only Washington State farm products and processed foods (no crafts, flea markets, non-food businesses or wholesalers).  If you are interested in selling at our markets, or want to know more about who sells at our markets, please read the details on our Vendors pages.

Dog Policy at the Farmers Markets

Every season we get asked why we allow dogs at some markets but not others.  Shoppers on both sides of the equation (pro-dog and anti-dog) often have strong opinions, and many valid reasons both pro and con for including canines at the markets.  Farmers markets in Washington State are free to make their own rules about dogs at their markets (in other states, such as California, it is illegal to allow dogs at any farmers market).  Our policy differs from neighborhood to neighborhood based partly on shopper survey results and partly on the logistics and setting of each market.  The majority of dogs are well-behaved, but we have had incidents of dogs jumping up and eating samples off vendors' tables, dogs getting into fights with each other, and dogs on leashes causing obstruction or safety hazards.  Fortunately these incidents are uncommon, and because the markets are walking destinations and leisurely outings for many, many shoppers, we try to accommodate dogs where we can.  Of course, service dogs are allowed at all markets.

The markets that allow dogs are: Columbia City, Magnolia, Broadway, Phinney, Lake City.   No-dog markets are: West Seattle, U-District.
