HAPPENING NOW: Second week of Delridge Farmers’ Market, after celebration
The second week of the Delridge Farmers’ Market (9421 18th SW) is on, after a celebratory ribboncutting with leaders of the market-presenting African Community Housing and Development, as well as two local elected officials expressing their support – District 1 City Councilmember Rob Saka:
And 34th District State Senator Emily Alvarado (like Saka, a West Seattleite), who noted the contrast between the local and state support for this market, and the food-security-program cuts on which the federal government has embarked:
ACHD president/CEO Hamdi Abdulle thanked them for their support:
And ACHD vice president Bilan Aden (at right below, as Abdulle presented Alvarado with flowers) talked about future plans for a permanent International Market – like a year-round, daily version of the Delridge market.
We’ll have more on that in a separate report. Meantime, you have until 2 pm to go shop today’s market on the grounds of Hope Academy – you’ll find prepared food like Anh’s stir-fry:
Other fresh-cooked food includes Salvadorean, Afghan, and Thai, among others. You’ll also find produce like Aash‘s greens-laden table including allium blossoms:
The market has a rotating list of vendors, so even if you came last week, you’ll find some who are making their 2025 debut this week.
