Bellevue Farmers Market — Local services in Bellevue

I have more of a rant I'd like to tell. I use to be a vendor for the Bellevue market. They have trust issues with how much money the vendors make at the end of the market. The manager even sent in their own people to stay with the vendors to count the money in the end! Speaking for myself and probably to others, it's uncomfortable, distracting and sometimes they're in the way. Out of all the markets I've worked at, this market has the least trust in their own vendors. Some vendors often make more money than other vendors. Plus, this is a small market and not a lot of people come to visit. I remember this one time when I went to pay my fees for the day (the fee was $50 or 60% of how much you made, which ever was higher depending on how much you make), the lady whom collects the fees looked at me, spoked with attitude and spoked very loudly, "You guys only made $320?!" I looked back at her, thinking if she had really just said that with attitude as if me and my mom were lying to her about the amount we made for the day. That day, we didn't have a lot of stuff to sell because most of our things were still growing. I told her with my best manner that we still had a lot of stuff left. She looked over at my tent and with attitude she said that it looks like we were selling out. Of course she would say that. The prices we had at that market were cheaper than any other markets I've been to. She wouldn't know how much a farmer would make. It pissed me of a little bit and was very tempted to argue but I wasn't trying to get kicked out of the market at that time. Other than this rant I have, the vendors are nice and they have some pretty good things that are sold here. Thanks for taking the...

Great little Asian restaurant. I ordered beef sandwich which was roast beef not burgers, delicious but a bit dry (need some juices), I ordered chicken veggie wonton soup. Wontons were great but not much flavor, some garlic, shredded mushrooms etc might help. I ordered kale salad by mistake instead of cooked greens. Sesame sauce was fantastic but of course kale was cold. Prices are pretty cheap for the size of plates. Music didn't bother as in some other asian restaurants. Service is very quick and great. I'll come back and order...

Very good market for the east side (not a giant, all year market like some in Seattle but good sized nonetheless) in two good locations.

My only quibble, which this market shares with some others, is certain musical guests who are too loud - especially those with amplifiers. I come to buy produce, not hear music and the music can get in the way of shopping and talking. I won't lower my rating for that though because if I get in and out when the market is first open I can generally be done before the...
