MAKING LOCAL MARKETS ARE:
an outdoor market for shopping, eating, discovering, and building community! You’ll find gifts, food, clothing, art, pottery, jewelry, plants, home goods, candles, and so much more! All vendors are from the PNW - as close as your neighbors in Bothell and as far as Bellingham, Walla Walla, and Portland, OR!
located in Mountlake Terrace on the City Hall Plaza and 58th Street!
Mountlake Terrace is about 30 mins North of Seattle and accessible via LightRail!
a great way to spend the day in MLT - come for the market and stay for dinner and drinks or check out one of the fabulous parks nearby!
Frequently Asked Questions
-
This is separate for each vendor. Nearly all take cards, only some take cash.
Some also have Venmo or PayPal options as well. -
Keep scrolling! There’s a whole vendor list, divided out by product category, with links to each vendor’s website or social media.
Sometimes vendors change last minute, but the website will be as up to date as possible so you can plan accordingly.
-
I am always seeking volunteers! If you’re interested and available on the day of the market, please email me, Sarah [hello@makinglocal.com], to coordinate on a time slot that works for your schedule!
Example volunteer tasks:
helping vendors locate their booth spot during load in [8am-10am]
covering restroom / food breaks for vendors by watching their booth [11am-3pm]
supporting load out and clean up by moving trash bins, monitoring traffic flow of vendor vehicles, and collapsing tents, etc. [3:30pm-5:00pm]
If a student* needs community service hours, this is a great opportunity! I’m happy to sign off a form with description of the work or time volunteering. *If the student is under 18, for liability purposes, I just need a parent/guardian permission slip along with it.
-
There ample free street parking surrounding the market and in the residential areas just a block or two away.
There are bus transit stops within a few blocks of the market, and, we’re only about ½ mile from the MLT Light Rail Station [about a 10 minute walk].
