Manifold Motion's Miscellenea II Wraps Up Tonight
Around The -Ists This Week
Queen Anne is officially all grown up and Thursday nights have become our big cotillion. That's right, Ballard and Fremont and every-other-established-neighborhood-in-Seattle, we now have a farmers market and our very own art walk too! Suckas!
Both are new and welcome additions to the neighborhood that popped up earlier this summer, thanks to our diligent neighbors in the Upper Queen Anne Merchants and Queen Anne Neighbors for Responsible Growth groups. The market runs each Thursday from 3-7 p.m. until October in the McClure Middle School parking lot on 1st & Crockett. Third Thursdays, Queen Anne Ave. plays host to the Art Walk, with businesses on the main drag opening their doors until 8 p.m. to show off the work of local artists.
Being the not-so-diligent neighbors that we are, we missed the inaugural Art Walk last month; we have, however, fallen in love with our glorious little farmers market and its free parking. And tonight, the two converge, and we will stuff our faces with fresh raspberries and crepes and then hobble back home down QA Ave, look at some photographs of Tom Waits, and then retire to our houses at the grand old hour of 8. We're still Queen Anne, afterall.

Just wanted to say our new market rocks, but it is not a sure thing for next year.
QANRG is a nonprofit and 501c3. The QA Farmers Market Association is under its auspices. (Just to be clear, the QA Art Walk is the baby of the Merchants Association, and not affiliated with the market)
Donations are still BADLY needed to cover Parks and City permits and rents. If you live on QA and have not yet donated to the market, please do so via Paypal over at the QANRG.org site.
If neighbors can keep QFC off the ill, surely we can keep a farmers market on it. Spread the word. And share the berries.
