Pike Place Market - Evening Farmers Market

Pike Place Market ties this evening series to a broader food-access mission that helps low-income neighbors get fresh fruits and vegetables through Market currencies, CSA programs, and Express Farmers Markets across the city. That frame gives the Wednesday market at 1600 Pike Place a clear role: a summer farm market inside one of Seattle’s most established public market settings, running in the late afternoon and early evening rather than the usual morning window. The setting is distinctly Pike Place, but the emphasis here is on direct farm sales and fresh food access in downtown Seattle.

Why it matters locally

Pike Place Market’s farm program says its markets are built around giving farmers opportunities to sell directly to consumers, with summer and fall outlets at Pike Place and through Express Farmers Markets throughout downtown Seattle. That matters in this specific location because the evening series sits inside Pike Place Market while also connecting to other food-access efforts the organization runs, including CSA programs and Express Farmers Markets.

The Market’s history reaches back to a 1907 city ordinance championed by Council Member Thomas Revelle, and Frank Goodwin completed construction of the first building before the Market was dedicated. In practical terms, this evening market extends that long-standing Pike Place role into a summer weekday format centered on farm vendors and fresh food in downtown Seattle.

What you'll find there

The roster leans heavily toward farms and gardens, with a smaller group of bakeries, creameries, mushrooms, tamales, and prepared-food producers mixed in. That makes this evening market read less like a souvenir stop and more like a midweek farm shopping run inside Pike Place Market.
