My first adventure on my Seattle visit was taking the new light rail from Sea-Tac airport to Westlake Center in the downtown. See the skyline in the background and port activities in the foreground. We stopped at Nordstrom's before taking a bus to West Seattle. Public transit, y'all.

The Georgetown Farmers' Market is located in an old industrial area. This building was formerly a stockhouse.

All of Seattle's farmers' markets feature organic specialties. Flower stalls and flea markets are also common.

Hey Mark! This old building was once a brewery.

Fresh-picked fruits and vegetables are sold near where they are grown, only minimal trucking involved.

Artisanal bread is a prime feature of the markets.

Today was the Georgetown market's last day until spring, but another market in West Seattle is open all year round. Locavores rejoice!

Simply put...YUM !
ReplyDeleteKinda looks like the Budweiser brewery up near Newark Airport! The Pacific Northwest actually has developed into quite the haven for smaller breweries and brewpubs over the years. I hear Elysian (www.elysianbrewing.com) is one of the Seattle area's better ones, but I've never had the chance to try their stuff. Perhaps you could smuggle some back for me? -mark
