Kirkland Wednesday Market

Every Wednesday a market takes place in Kirkland's Marina Park by Lake Washington. 

There are food vendors, craftspeople, 

and farmers selling fruits, vegetables, and flowers.

It's a colorful and fun place to be every Wednesday. 

It was too crowded to get very good pictures of the vendors and their wares.

People and dogs (always lots of dogs around Kirkland) 

come by car, on foot and by boat. 

Many stay to eat some of their purchases. 

Some are lucky enough to get a bench right on the lake. 

Joe enjoys the crepe full of vegetables - 

purchased from the people in the picture below. 

The fruits and vegetables were abundant

strawberries, cherries, raspberries

asparagus, snow peas, zucchini (they even had round zucchini)

kale, lettuces, and much more

The flowers are always gorgeous. 

Many of the flower vendors at the area markets 

are Hmong who came here from Cambodia.

We were lucky to find a parking spot close to the gelato store - 

so that's what we had for dessert on the way back to the car.

We even got a free gelato 

because we filled up yet another frequent customer card! :)
