Summer in Seattle
North and south ends of downtown debut new weekly bazaars.

The inaugural Olympic Sculpture Park farmers market is Thursday, July 15 and takes place every week thereafter 3:30-7:30pm.
Amid all the talk of Pioneer Square and Belltown losing ground come two new markets bound to bring in a crowd—especially the food-loving kind.
Opening this Thursday at 3:30 is B-town’s Olympic Sculpture Park culinary crawl, for which more than 30 Washington vendors will proffer their edibles along the park’s herky-jerky walking path. At 5:30 Taste restaurant’s pastry whiz Lucy Damkoehler will lead a cooking demo. She is one of nine prolific chefs—Ethan Stowell, Zoë ‘s Daniel Newell, Tilikum Place Café ’s Ba Culbert among them—scheduled to wow shoppers up until the market’s final run September 9.
Bookending the other edge of downtown is the summer-long Seattle Square, which gets underway this weekend 11am-5pm in Occidental Park. Though more of the flea than farmer variety, the Saturday market is hosting food carts Skillet, Parfait Organic Ice Cream, and the newly minted Ram and Rooster Dumplings. Or get your grub on with sandwich slingers Delicatus, also slated to set up shop.

When Molly Moon goes mobile this summer, owner Molly Moon Neitzel is bringing along ice cream sandwiches. Ice cream sandwiches made with walnut and Theo Chocolate praline cookies. In-between which sits a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
And just think, you won’t have to wait in those god-awful lines for one of them. That is, if Neitzel makes your ’hood one of her regular stops. See, the route for the truck is yet to be determined, and the ever-judicious Neitzel is seeking suggestions. If you want those sammies at your fingertips, what you need to do is tell her via Twitter or Facebook before Friday, June 4, when the schedule will be finalized.

Some Pig Maximus/Minimus, now serving up sandwiches at Queen Anne Farmers Market
Madrona’s farmers market opens today at 3pm, and in just six days we’ll see the seasonal debut of the Queen Anne Farmers Market—the one to which local foodies gather like moths to the proverbial flame.
The QAFM opening celebration begins at 2:30pm on Thursday, May 20 at West Crockett Street and Queen Anne Avenue North. Try to arrive by 4pm, so as to to see Jason Franey of Canlis give a demonstration. There is also a kid’s cooking class at 5pm.
I was excited to see that Maximus/Minimus (the vegan bbq sandwiches are a health food, right? ), Veraci Pizza, and Parfait ice cream will be selling their stuff at the QAFM this year, and that Loki Fish is joining the Queen Anne vendor crew. That crew already includes such stalwarts as Foraged and Found Edibles, Tiny’s Organic, and Full Circle Farms.
Here’s the schedule for all the neighborhood farmers markets. Happy shopping.
