Ballard Farmers Market

Open since 2000, the Ballard Farmers Market is Seattle's first year-round neighborhood farmers market selling produce exclusively from Washington state farmers. The market operates along the historic cobblestone stretch of Ballard Avenue NW, having expanded multiple times to accommodate growing popularity. Originally located between Vernon Place and 22nd Avenue, the market expanded in 2016 onto 22nd Avenue extending to NW Market Street, and again in 2023 extending down Ballard Avenue NW to 20th Avenue NW. This year-round market operates rain or shine every Sunday, providing consistent access to fresh, local Washington produce while supporting the state's agricultural community. The market has become a beloved neighborhood institution and a gem of Seattle's vibrant Ballard district.
