Tacoma Farmers Markets

Tacoma Farmers Markets ties its downtown market to a broad civic network that includes WSU Extension, WSDA, the City of Tacoma, and the Tacoma Housing Authority, an unusually visible mix of farm, health, and public-sector partners for one market organization. The Thursday Broadway market runs on Broadway between 9th and 11th streets in Downtown Tacoma from April 2 through September 24, 2026, with one no-market date on April 23. That setup makes this a market with a distinctly central Tacoma footprint and a schedule built around a weekday downtown stop.

Why it matters locally

Tacoma Farmers Markets presents its local role through partnerships that reach across agriculture, food access, health, housing, and city systems. The partner list includes Pierce Conservation District, Multicare Center for Healthy Living, Sound Outreach, Asia Pacific Cultural Center, Emergency Food Network, and Pierce County Aging and Disability Resources, alongside state agriculture and farmers market organizations. It also names United Way, CHI Franciscan Health, and the Port of Tacoma among its supporters. Taken together, those organizations point to a market program that is connected to more than weekly shopping alone, with food access and local institutional support built into how Tacoma Farmers Markets operates.

What you'll find there

The clearest documented emphasis here is less about a published vendor roster and more about the market’s programs, services, and downtown shopping rhythm. Tacoma Farmers Markets highlights support for local farms, food access, community booths, and small business incubation as core parts of the market organization.

Know before you go

No dogs is one of the clearest visit rules posted for this market, so that detail may shape your plan before you head downtown. Broadway Farmers Market is set on Broadway between 9th and 11th streets in Downtown Tacoma, not at the STAR Center address listed elsewhere in the broader market profile. For parking, the market points drivers to the Tacoma Dome Park and Ride at 25th Street and D Street, then suggests taking Tacoma Link into downtown. If you want to park closer in, the Rhodes Center garage entrance is at 11th and Market streets, and the Pierce Transit garage entrance is on Commerce between 11th and 9th streets. A market phone number is also listed: 253.272.7077.

Payments & SNAP

EBT/SNAP is accepted at Tacoma Farmers Markets, and the market also lists credit, debit, WIC, Senior Nutrition Vouchers, SNAP Market Match, and Apple a Day tokens among accepted currency. The market notes that wooden tokens do not expire, a useful detail if you shop intermittently rather than every week.
