Ballard Sunday Farmer's Market

Ballard Sunday Farmer's Market is a weekly marketplace in Ballard featuring more than 100 local vendors selling fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and artisanal items. The vendors line Ballard Avenue Northwest, making it easy to walk through and browse what's available.

This market began in 2000 as Seattle's first year-round neighborhood farmers market, exclusively featuring Washington state farmers. Its location on historic Ballard Avenue helped establish it as a regular community gathering spot.

This market brings neighbors together, creating a weekly gathering where shoppers connect directly with the farmers behind their food. It reflects how Seattle communities value supporting local growers and maintaining ties to the land and agriculture.

The market operates every Sunday and accepts multiple payment methods to serve shoppers of all kinds. When visiting, come prepared with cash or mobile payment options, as availability varies among individual vendors.

Local organizations collect leftover produce from vendors each Sunday to distribute to food banks serving the Ballard area. This practice shows how the market extends its role beyond simple commerce to support community food security.
