Lake Stevens Farmers Market

04/09/2026

As conversations continue about a “return” of a Lake Stevens Farmers Market in 2026, I want to take a moment to offer some clarity.

I will not be involved in the operation, management, or development of this new market.

Over the past year, I did have conversations with the Chamber about the future of a market in Lake Stevens. Those conversations ultimately centered around financial outcomes, while my work has always been rooted in community-building, accessibility, and long-term sustainability for small businesses. After sharing that perspective and offering to support in a consulting capacity aligned with those values, I was not contacted further.

Building a farmers market is not just about logistics or revenue — it’s about relationships, trust, and showing up week after week for vendors, farmers, and the community. It requires an immense amount of behind-the-scenes labor, care, and personal investment. Those of you who worked alongside me or vended with us over the past six seasons know firsthand what that took. Farmers markets don't just happen.

Out of respect for that work - and for my own well-being in addition to caring for a parent with Stage 4 cancer - I made the decision to step away.

I’m incredibly proud of what we built together. I also fully support our vendors as they make the best decisions for their businesses, whether that’s continuing in Lake Stevens or finding homes in other markets like Snohomish and Monroe.

Looking ahead, I remain open to the possibility of bringing back a market experience that aligns with the values this community came to love — in a space that is supportive, sustainable, and accessible.

For now, I simply want to be clear: this next iteration is not mine.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Come see us in Snohomish!

After six incredible seasons, the Lake Stevens Farmers Market will be taking a hiatus for the 2026 season.

This decision was not made lightly. Ongoing and unresolved challenges with the City of Lake Stevens, combined with planned construction and continued development in the already congested North Cove Park area, have made it impossible to operate the market in a way that aligns with our values, standards, and commitment to our vendors and community.

While the circumstances leading to this pause are difficult, what remains deeply meaningful is the overwhelming support we have received from our neighbors, shoppers, vendors, musicians, and small businesses over the past six years. Together, we proved that Lake Stevens wanted — and deserved — access to fresh, locally grown and locally made goods, and a space that fostered connection, creativity, and community.

It’s also important to acknowledge that much of the work required to build, manage, and sustain the Lake Stevens Farmers Market over these six years was carried primarily by one person, supported by a small but mighty group of helpers who believed in the vision. Their dedication, countless unpaid hours, and shared passion brought this market to life and kept it going season after season.

We are incredibly proud of what was created here and grateful to everyone who showed up, week after week, to support local farmers, makers, and musicians. This pause does not erase the impact the market has had — or the community it helped build.

We will share updates if circumstances change. For now, thank you for six unforgettable years.

With gratitude, the Lake Stevens Farmers Market Team

🌾 Thank You, Lake Stevens 🌾

This past Saturday’s Harvest Market marked the end of an incredible six-year run for the Lake Stevens Farmers Market. What a journey it’s been — full of connection, community, and countless market days that brought us all together.

To our vendors — the farmers, food makers, and artisans who showed up week after week to share your passion and hard work: this market wouldn’t have existed without you. You created something truly special here.

To our customers — you asked for a market, and you showed up. Rain or shine, through construction chaos and every season in between, your support kept us going. This market thrived for six years because of YOU.

The vendor directory will remain live on the website so you can continue supporting your favorite small businesses throughout the holidays and beyond.

I’m still available via email or here on our official page for any questions, and you can follow along at and The Market Maven Podcast for more farmers market stories and adventures.

This isn’t goodbye — just a see you later. 💚
