Shoreline Farmers Market

Shoreline Farmers Market stands out as an independent, community-run market operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Shoreline. That nonprofit structure shapes the market’s identity: it is supported by local businesses and individuals, and it pairs regular shopping with food-access and youth programming rather than presenting itself as only a weekly retail stop. The market’s seasonal Saturday run gives Shoreline a fixed place to gather around farm-direct shopping, with programs that extend into kids’ activities and nutrition learning during the season.

Why it matters locally

Support for local and sustainable agriculture, small business, community building, food equity programs, and economic development in the City of Shoreline sits at the center of this market’s stated mission. That makes the market locally significant not just as a place to buy food, but as an organization built to channel spending and participation back into Shoreline’s own civic and economic life.

The market also ties that mission to practical access. It accepts EBT/SNAP and participates in SNAP Market Match, while many vendors accept WIC and Senior FMNP checks. Its PoP Kids Club adds another local layer by teaching children the value of farmers markets through interactive videos and in-person activities tied to the market season.

What you'll find there

The strongest documented emphasis here is on programs and participation around the weekly market rather than a published vendor roster. Expect a market shaped by food access, volunteer support, and family-oriented activities alongside Saturday shopping.

• -PoP Kids Club brings interactive videos and in-person activities that teach kids the value of farmers markets.
• -Kids Day is scheduled for July 25 as a season-specific family event at the market.
• -Volunteers help run the market, with Shoreline specifically highlighting volunteer involvement as part of how the market operates.

The youth programming is especially visible here: the market notes kid-tested recipes and educational videos created by volunteers Sylvia and Grace to keep children learning about produce and nutrition after a market visit.

Know before you go

The most important planning detail is the site: Shoreline Farmers Market is held at 15300 Westminster Way, at the BikeLink Park & Ride on the corner of 192nd and Aurora, across from Sky Nursery. If you are navigating by landmark rather than street address, that corner and the Sky Nursery reference will likely be the quickest way to find it.

The market runs on Saturdays from 10am to 2pm during its June 6 through October 31 season. Dogs are welcome, which may matter if you are planning a weekend stop with a pet. One limitation to note before heading out: restrooms are not available on site.

Payments & SNAP

Shoreline Farmers Market accepts EBT/SNAP cards, including EBT/SNAP from any state, and those transactions are doubled through the SNAP Market Match program. Many vendors also accept WIC and Senior FMNP checks, and those checks are accepted at the market as part of its food-access setup.
