Lake Union Park Floating Market


The FarmBoat Floating Market


is held aboard the historic steamship Virginia V docked at Lake Union Park Wharf through the end of July. Vendors display locally grown produce, specialty foods and artisan crafts on board the 125' wooden vessel - just as it was done a century ago. Market visitors can tour the ship for free and learn about Puget Sound agricultural and maritime heritage while they shop. The FarmBoat Floating Market


shares the old-world charm and ambiance once enjoyed by Northwest seaport residents during the age of sail and steam. Hundreds of ships like the Virginia V traveled the waterways of Puget Sound at the turn of the 20th century, transporting farm goods and people before there were highways. The Virginia V was originally built to transport farm products from Vashon Island to Pike Place Market in 1922.
