Pike Place Market - South Lake Union Farmers Market

Pike Place Market ties this South Lake Union market to a broader mission that includes helping low-income neighbors get fresh fruits and vegetables through Market currencies, Community Supported Agricultural programs, and Express Farmers Markets across the city. That mission gives the Thursday market at 410 Terry Ave N a clear frame: a seasonal stop for farm shopping in Seattle that sits under the Pike Place Market umbrella. With a June-to-October run and a midday schedule, it reads as a compact weekly market built for neighborhood access rather than an all-day outing.

Why it matters locally

Pike Place Market has been part of Seattle’s story since 1907, and the organization presents its history as central to the city, from its beginnings through the period when it nearly faced demolition in the 1970s. The South Lake Union Farmers Market extends that civic role into a neighborhood setting under the same market banner.

Its local importance is also practical. Pike Place Market describes work focused on helping low-income neighbors access fresh fruits and vegetables through Market currencies, CSA programs, and Express Farmers Markets throughout Seattle. In that context, this Thursday market is part of a larger food-access effort attached to one of the city’s longstanding public market institutions.

What you'll find there

The vendor roster connected with Pike Place Market leans heavily toward farm names, gardens, creameries, orchards, mushrooms, and bakery producers, which points to an agriculture-first mix rather than a craft-heavy lineup. For shoppers, that means the names themselves give a good sense of the range represented under the Pike Place Market farm program.

Know before you go

No dogs is the clearest planning note for this market, so shoppers bringing pets will need to adjust before heading to 410 Terry Ave N. Another useful detail: restrooms are not available on-site. The market runs only on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. during the June-through-October season, so the shopping window is short and weekday-specific. This is a South Lake Union location rather than the main Pike Place site, which matters if you are navigating by market name alone.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted here, a practical fit with Pike Place Market’s stated work to expand access to fresh fruits and vegetables through Market currencies and related programs. Payment methods are otherwise presented clearly for visitors, which makes this a straightforward stop for shoppers planning how to pay before they arrive.
