Making Local Markets

A community requires community builders— people who show up when they’re needed. If that’s you, we’d love to see you in Bothell on October 17th to support Crow Fest!

When volunteers step up, community comes to life! Whether you’d like to come before the market to help vendors find their spots, be a mid-day booth sitter, or support load-out duties, we’d love to see you there. There’s even a food voucher in exchange for your support to help sweeten the deal 🤤 (and we’ve got some amazing food vendors coming!)

And even if you can’t volunteer, you can help support Making Local Markets + local small businesses by sharing this post to your stories! Thank you 💕

Today’s the day! Market day! See you there?

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT!
Some of you may have heard that your market hosts are opening a brick and mortar gift shop, right here in downtown Bothell - !

FOLK is your one-stop-shop for handmade goods, curated gifts, gift wrapping services, and a vinyl record listening room curated by Brad [who makes all the market playlists!]. Nearly all of the gift items at FOLK are from vendors that have been part of the Making Local Markets at one time or another. We'll also have a rotating Artist of the Month and a corresponding monthly event, business workshops, and will be participating in the October 8th Arts Alive Bothell!

Follow and stay tuned for our grand opening - currently aiming for Saturday, October 3rd and visit us (soon!) on the backside of the Logsdon Building, accessible from the parking lots off of NE 183rd St! [Forgive our in progress shots of the shop - it's coming along but not done yet! The incredible mural work is by !]
10123 Main Place, Suite 1, Bothell, WA 98011

But, until then, shop your favorite local makers and discover new ones at the Market!
