WHO CAN APPLY?
All businesses are welcome to apply! We do give priority to vendors who design and/or hand-make their own products. ​​​​​

If you make more than $2,000 a year in the city of Seattle, you are required to hold an active City of Seattle business license to participate.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SCHOLARSHIP BOOTHS?
Yes! We want to make our markets as accessible as possible, so we offer 1 free scholarship booth per market. This means that the booth fee will be waived but you will still need to pay the 10% Seattle Parks Gross Fee as this is a requirement by the city.
