As previewed here, the West Seattle Farmers’ Market went ahead as scheduled today. We checked with market management on site; they told us they had 46 vendors, down three from usual. As of noon, their anecdotal take on foot traffic was typical for a cold day in late winter. The West Seattle Farmers’ Market is one of four in the city this time of year; the others are Capitol Hill, Ballard, and the U-District.
I didn’t really need to buy anything this weekend but I went anyways and grabbed a few things since I am younger and healthy. The burger type food vendor had the longest lines I have seen in a while but over all the crowd seemed slimmer considering the sun shining. And all my favorite dessert places skipped coming this week. :(
About 1:30 the market was doing okay – light for a sunny day, but it was still pretty chilly. Seemed to be decent business for vendors.
I try to make it every Sunday. I noticed there weren’t as many vendors. The vendors didn’t go from intersection to intersection as normal.
My favorite cookie vendor wasn’t there. However, I did discover a vendor selling an amazingly tasty cinnamon rolls. I wish I’d bought two.
If it’s the same cookie vendor I’m thinking of, he wasn’t at Ballard market either today and his presence was missed. :(
I absolutely LOVE desserts, so I was a little sad to discover that some of my favorite dessert places didn’t make it out today. Come back soon please….
Looks about normal for this time of year. I would have attended if I didn’t have to take the bus. I figure as long as you’re out in the open air and not right up in somebody’s face, you’re OK. I miss my Tall Grass Bakery bread…they’re probably the ones with the delish cinnamon rolls mentioned above.
Good for them, the hysteria is more troubling than the virus to be honest.
Sorry, comment time is over.
