Redmond Saturday Market — Local services in Redmond

I’ve been coming to this market for the last 5 years, and it has gone downhill. The only thing I would recommend at this market are the food stalls, but even those are getting worse. Wiseguys has much smaller portions, barely filled sausage sandwich for $12? They used to be $10 and much bigger. However the hot dog stall is amazing as usual, same with the bbq when it’s there.

If you’re looking for fresh produce, heirloom tomatoes are the only decent thing to get fresh. Cha new life has great black krims and heirlooms. Corn is a hit or miss depending on the stall. Hazelnuts are great but this year they are missing the orange flavor (best flavor!).

Be very wary of certain scummy produce stalls that don’t label their prices. I once purchased broccoli for $6 per pound at an unlabeled stall. I mistakenly assumed it was $4/pound like the other stalls. I will not name them but they have lost a customer. Always make sure...

Redmond Saturday market has always been a cute spread of local crafts, produce, flowers and food. Disappointed that they seem to have dismissed the compost containers from the receptical options (likely because people are too careless to read and some people are so dumb they put baby diapers in the compost, still too bad. Also I continue to shake my head at the very small compact parking spaces in the lake washington school district parking lot, 2 of which get designated (with an A-board as handicapped) although they are too small for an average sized car let alone a wheel chair accessible van or anyone who needs any space to get out of their vehicle, making it common place tight in between spots not to get used. Nice variety and fun visit, but could use some...

Cutest farmers market ever! The vibes are awesome, so many great booths but my fav by far is the Mediterranean tent with the super sweet guy and pretty girl running it. They’re always smiling, super friendly, and everything looks (and is) super clean and fresh!

I’ve eaten from them multiple times now — the grilled chicken is juicy and flavorful, the kafta is 🔥, and the gyro hits the spot every time. But let’s talk about that falafel… crispy perfection. And the hummus? So creamy it should be illegal. Don’t sleep on the tabbouleh either fresh and zingy just like it should be.

If you see them at the market, RUN (don’t walk)! You’ll...
