Thursday, October 28—otherwise known as yesterday—was your last chance to check out the weekly outdoor floating farmers markets along the dock at Lake Union Park.
No big deal though. The plan for November and December, according to the blog belonging to Farmboat (the group organizing the market), is to host vendors indoors aboard the Virginia V, “the last remaining survivor of a vast fleet of independently operated vessels that transported farm products around Puget Sound in the early 1900s.”
Meantime, peace out October’s bobbing bazaar with this slideshow of scenes from yesterday’s market, captured by photographer Anne Dixon.
