reel icon The Puget Sound is packed with seasonal farmers markets – nearly every neighborhood has one! 🌻🥖 Some, like the iconic @pikeplacepublicmarket , stay open year-round. 🐟But let’s be honest: the market magic really shines when the sun’s out, food trucks are rolling, and bouquets are overflowing with peonies and dahlias. 💐 Each market brings its own mix of local vendors and fresh finds. Many even accept SNAP/EBT benefits. 🥕🧺 And the best part? You can reach a ton of them by hopping on a Sound Transit train or bus.🚉✨ Swipe through for a roundup of transit-accessible markets → then head to the link in our bio for the full list! 🚎🔗

reel icon This May, the opening of the Downtown Redmond & Marymoor Village light rail stations brought more than just new connections—it brought new public art to the heart of the community. 🖼️✨ The Redmond and Marymoor Village Station Art Celebration gave us a unique chance to hear directly from the artists behind the pieces that now live in these public spaces. From bold mosaics to powerful portraits and imaginative sculptures, these works are more than just permanent installations—they’re living parts of the landscape, evolving with time. As Redmond welcomes more riders, these pieces invite us all to engage, reflect, and connect. The stations aren’t just transit hubs—they’re galleries, gathering places, and true reflections of the community.🚉 Discover how these artworks came to life and the stories behind them. Full story at the link in bio! 🔗
