Wallingford Farmers Market

Wallingford Farmers Market is part of the Seattle Farmers Market Association, the group that runs the market’s site content and identifies the market within its network of yearly and seasonal markets. In Seattle’s Wallingford neighborhood, the market is set in Meridian Park at the corner of Meridian Avenue N and N 50th Street, giving it a clear park-based setting rather than a closed street footprint. The market runs seasonally from May through September, making it a warm-month stop for neighborhood shopping in north Seattle.

Why it matters locally

Meridian Park and the corner of Meridian Avenue N and N 50th Street place this market directly in a neighborhood setting, with the Good Shepherd Center and its P-Patch Garden named nearby for an easy add-on stroll. The market is also tied into a broader Seattle system: SFMA runs five yearly and seasonal farmers markets and publishes a monthly newsletter focused on seasonal produce, new products, highlighted vendors, and upcoming events across that network. That structure matters here because Wallingford sits inside an organization that emphasizes seasonal produce and vendor spotlights rather than treating the market as a standalone pop-up.

What you'll find there

The mix reflected through SFMA vendors leans wider than raw produce alone, with prepared foods, pantry goods, wellness products, candles, and farm products all represented in the association’s market orbit. For Wallingford shoppers, that points to a market trip that can cover dinner ingredients, shelf-stable items, and a few non-food purchases in one stop.

Know before you go

No dogs and no restrooms are the two details most likely to shape a Wallingford visit, especially if you are planning to linger in Meridian Park after shopping. The market’s park location is at 4850 Meridian Ave N, at the corner of Meridian Avenue N and N 50th Street in Meridian Park. If you want to turn the trip into a longer neighborhood walk, the Good Shepherd Center and its P-Patch Garden are specifically named nearby. Payment methods are presented clearly, which helps if you are deciding how much cash to bring versus relying on cards or benefits.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Wallingford Farmers Market, and the market’s visit details indicate that payment methods are clearly presented. That matters at a seasonal market, where shoppers may be combining produce, prepared foods, pantry goods, and other vendor purchases in a single stop.
