The first time I ever went to a Farmers Market was when I lived up in the U-District. Being a girl from the suburbs, I used to think that it was a uniquely Seattle CITY thing to have a Market on a Sunday. We didn't really buy anything, but we did go a few times to just check out the handicrafts.
The best Farmers Market that I'd ever been to in Seattle is probably the Fremont Sunday Market. It's huge and has a lot of great antique things to checkout.
We've been going down to the Des Moines Waterfront Farmers Market every Saturday to restock on fresh produce to make baby food. The Farmers Market is located right in the parking lot of the Des Moines Marina.
The Saturday Farmers Market is a lot better than the Wednesday one because there are more vendors out…probably because a lot more people are free on the weekends. The Market opens from 10 am - 2 pm from June to September.

It's a really great way to spend part of a Saturday. There is food, music and a lot of fun for the kids (face painting…running around catching Pokemon…the usual).
Fun Fact: Another Farmers Market, which is pretty nearby to Des Moines is the Burien Farmers Market.
