University District Farmers Market

Running Saturdays year-round, this is widely considered one of the best farmers markets in the Pacific Northwest for sheer produce quality and vendor depth. It draws serious farmers from across Washington state and is a go-to for chefs sourcing ingredients, which tells you everything about the caliber. Mushrooms, stone fruit in summer, and winter squash in fall are particular highlights. It can get crowded by mid-morning so arrive before 10am for the best selection and elbow room.
