Despite getting a late start this year, the market continued to thrive and to grow.  We, as a whole, provided access to Washington farmers and their fresh, healthy food, hosted food education programs for children and adults, offered a rich variety of ready-to-eat meals and a diversity of free musical programs, all while being a gathering place for our community and greater Seattle.  Our impact on the local economy is substantial and we are proud of our results this season.
