The SeaTac Farmer's Market is an annual tradition that brings together a vibrant, diverse lineup of vendors. This market specifically prioritizes BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, People of Color] farmers, chefs, and artisans who reflect and honor the region's cultural diversity. You'll find unique food and goods representing a wide array of cultures and farmers market staples like fresh produce and flowers. Another thing that makes this market unique is that it does not charge vendors or take a cut of their sales, so when you buy something, you know that 100% of the revenue is going to the people who grew or made it.

When: June 4 - October 29, 2025, on Wednesdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
