The Edmonds Farmers Market: Food, Crafts, and More!

Last Updated on January 19, 2024 by Kelly

If you’re in the city of Edmonds during the spring or summer, you have to check out the Edmonds Museum Summer Market. The Edmonds Farmers Market occurs every Saturday, and there are approximately 90 vendors at the market. We love visiting farmers markets, and the Edmonds Farmers Market is one of our favorites! In this post, we’ll share all about our visits to the Edmonds Farmers Market.

About the Edmonds Museum Summer Market

The Edmonds Farmers Market takes place on Saturdays during the spring and summer. 

The market is open from 9am until 2pm

All vendors are at the market required to make their own products in Washington State. There are no re-sellers or franchises at this market.

There are public restrooms located off of 5th Avenue North.

The market takes place in downtown Edmonds. The Edmonds Farmers Market begins where 5th Avenue North crosses Main Street (by the water fountain in the roundabout). The market continues north to Bell Street and ends by the Centennial Plaza.

For parking near the Edmonds Farmers Market, there are different lots available nearby, as well as street parking. During our last visit, we found street parking just a 2-minute walk away. 


Our Visits to the Edmonds Farmers Market

When we last visited the Edmonds Farmers Market, it was a beautiful spring day. It was the market’s opening day, and there were plenty of people happily walking about enjoying all the market has to offer.

If you’ve followed our blog, you know that we love farmers markets! The Ballard Farmers Market is another one of our favorite markets. We were excited that the Edmonds Farmers Market was open, and we were eager to see which vendors would be present. Our favorite thing to do at the market is eat, so we arrived hungry!

Please note: Vendors may change on any given market day. We’re describing the vendors that were present during our visits.

Vespucci Pizza

Vezpucci Pizza at the Edmonds Farmers Market

We first stopped by Vespucci Pizza. Their pizza was incredible! I was first drawn to their booth because I heard them speaking Italian. There is nothing better than an authentic Italian pizza! They cook all their pizzas in a wood-fire oven. The line to order was fairly long, but I took that as a good sign. (I even saw Rick Steves in line, so that’s got to say something!) Both men working there were were extremely kind and took the time to slice my daughter’s pizza into smaller sections. The pizza itself was delicious. I’d highly recommend stopping by their booth if they are present!

Sage on the Mountain

My friend Sarah runs Sage on the Mountain, and I can personally attest to her soaps! She’s been making soaps since 2010 and has perfected the process. She seeks out the most unrefined oils and she sources local ingredients whenever possible. I’ve personally purchased her soaps, bath salts, and salt scrubs. My favorite soap is the Whimsical Bar (juniper berry, lavender, eucalyptus, and rose geranium scents). My husband’s favorite is the Woodsy Bar (cedar wood, clary sage, and fir needle scents). If you can’t make it to the market, you can order from her Etsy shop

Snohomish Bakery at First & Union

Apple Fritter at Edmonds Farmers Market

After pizza, we were in the mood for something sweet. The Snohomish Bakery at First & Union cart was right next to the pizza one, so we waited in line for some sweet treats. We ordered their blueberry muffin, a sour cherry turnover, and an apple fritter. The apple fritter was our favorite! The bakery also had lots of breads, bars, cookies, and scones.

Seattle Pops

Because it was a sunny day, we also decided to indulge in a handmade popsicle from Seattle Pops. Our daughter ordered the chocolate and banana flavor. It was really, really good. It also didn’t melt super fast, which was perfect for our toddler!

Jesse Kelly Glass

We stopped by Jesse Kelly Glass and picked up a beautiful handblown glass pumpkin. All of his designs were absolutely gorgeous. He’s local to the area and extremely talented, so be sure to check him out!

Caroline Hall Art

Another vendor we really liked was Caroline Hall Art. Her pieces feature a beautiful blend of resin and wood. I bought a cutting board for my aunt and it looks so pretty for entertaining!

Other Vendors We Saw

What to Bring to the Edmonds Farmers Market

We recommend that you bring a few things with you to the market:

  • Tote: Bring a re-usable tote for you to carry all of your purchases. If you forgot to bring one, we saw totes that you can purchase at the market. (They’re a bit expensive, but proceeds benefit the market.)
  • Comfortable Shoes: Wear your favorite comfortable shoes as you stroll through the market. Brooks brand has been my personal favorite!
  • Water Bottle: Bring a water bottle so you have a drink handy, especially if you want to eat at the market. 
  • Power Bank: We always keep a fully-charged power bank with us while we’re out exploring. That way, if our phone battery is running low, we can easily plug it in. 
  • Cash: There’s often lots of live music at the market. We like to bring cash to tip the musicians. Most of the vendors accept credit cards, but having cash on hand is nice for tips.

Nearby Activities in Edmonds

There’s plenty of other fun things to see in Edmonds when you’re finished at the market. Here’s a few places we recommend visiting:

  • Brackett’s Landing: Right next to the Edmonds ferry dock is a small beach park called Brackett’s Landing. The portion south of the dock is called Brackett’s Landing South, and the portion above the ferry dock is called Brackett’s Landing North. This park has a marine sanctuary, a small pathway along the waterfront, a picnic area, and some public art.
  • Olympic Beach Park: This beach is located in the heart of Edmonds and is our favorite place to go when we visit! There’s a paved pathway for a short stroll along the water, or you can take the stairs down to the water. It’s the perfect place to throw down a blanket and watch the ferry come and go.
  • Rick Steves’ Travel Center: Did you know that Rick Steves lives in Edmonds, Washington? The famous travel writer and TV host has a Travel Center in downtown Edmonds. The Travel Center contains a large store with Rick Steves’ books and accessories, free travel classes, information about their guided tours, and a library filled with hundreds of travel books. 


Summary: The Edmonds Farmers Market

The Edmonds Farmers Market is a perfect Saturday activity. The market is filled with a wide array of vendors, and the market is within walking distance to the beach and downtown Edmonds. 

In comparison to the Ballard Farmers Market, we thought that there were less meal choices during our visit to the Edmonds Farmers Market. (The Edmonds Farmers Market had pizza or hot dogs to choose from, while the Ballard Farmers Market had dozens of food stalls.) The Edmonds Farmers Market, however, had lots of hand-blown glass art and other crafts.

We hope this article inspires you to visit the Edmonds Farmers Market as well!
