Farmer's market coming to Georgetown for 6 weeks this fall

Georgetown will host a limited run farmer's market starting on Thursday, Sept. 4 and running weekly on Thursdays through Oct. 9. Details:

• Dates: Thursdays from 9/4 - 10/9 (9/4, 9/11, 9/18, 9/25, 10/2, 10/9)

• Hours: 3pm - 7pm

• Location: Outside Bloom Bistro & Grocery, 6601 Carleton Ave. S

The farmer's market will be offering fresh fruits, vegetables and more, which is a welcome addition to a neighborhood already considered a food desert.

The market is run by the Georgetown Business Association (GBA) with support from the City of Seattle's Office of Sustainability and Environment, who have grant funding allocated for projects and programs in the Duwamish Valley. Debra Broz from the GBA commented that the market has been something the neighborhood has been asking for a long time, and Bloom Bistro owner Marisa Figueroa had a vision for putting it together based on previous farmer's market experience. Broz also noted that funding for future years from the City remains to be seen. If the market is successful, the GBA will attempt to obtain future grants and sponsorships to hopefully continue the market in 2026.

Help make it successful this fall! Check out the Georgetown Business Association website for additional information and to follow updates on the market.
