Fremont Farmer’s Market in Seattle

The Sunday Market in The Fremont district of Seattle is amazing!  There is so much to see.  Although it won’t be open during the market, the Fremont Outdoor Cinema was my first. I fell in love with outdoor cinema at this point.  I love that in the summer you come to a parking lot and watch a film being shown on a blank wall.  This is how all film should be viewed.  This is at the west end of the market.  The market then extends for a long stretch of 34th Street along the ship canal.  The market is full of booths vending produce and other food items, music, art and fun galore.  It is very difficult to leave without you arms weighed down by the treasures found here. 

I alway leave with what amounts to someone’s flower garden.  I can’t help it.  The Flowers are so beautiful.  I usually have to go to the car to unload at least once.  The market is open year round rain or shine, but what vendors are there depends on the weather and closeness to holidays.  It is usually always worth the trip unless there is a storm.

After you’ve finished shopping, stop in at the Red Door Alehouse.  The food is pretty basic and much like every other brewhouse or american food restaurant.  But there are a couple of exceptions.  The Fremont Salad is made with mixed greens, Granny Smith apples, seasoned walnuts, bleu cheese and a sherry vinaigrette.  Yummy.

The Grilled Ahi Tuna Sandwich is also yummy.  It has a lemon dill butter that is delectable.  For more info  www.reddoorseattle.com
