SODO Flea Market

Janet Nieves

Came here May 2022 and when I went, the market wasn't too exciting. I had just come from the Lake Union Saturday Market and compared to the music, amount of vendors, and food trucks there, SODO was quiet and smaller. This one wraps around the antique shop but there was room for three food trucks and a small strip of vendors. There were a lot of people selling re-thrifted clothes. Looked like there were a few gems but you may need to do some digging around, and at that point I may just do my own thrifting. I saw a few hanging crystal decorations with moons and stars and the handmade jewelry selections were super cute and of very nice quality. There are some of the same looking stuff throughout vendors though so really walk the tents through before making a purchase.

A wonderful outdoor market! The organizer is really bringing together a great community of vendors and I would highly recommend checking it out and supporting some local small businesses.

I stopped by to shop on December 18th. It looks like a fun flea market but it has one big problem. While I was there I felt horrible for the people trying to sell stuff. It was rainy cold and incredibly windy. I saw multiple sellers items fly away, shatter or get covered in Mud. Everything I touched was covered in rain. A lot of the items where soggy On top of that I was nearly hit with two entire rack of clothes that the wind blew over, while the people who were selling at the booth tried to keep the tent from flying away. At the same time it looked like another seller had all there items broken and there tent ripped apart. I felt HORRIBLE for them. This was also incredibly unsafe. I bought items from a few booths just because I felt awful for the people trying to sell. Why they didn't just pack up and leave was beyond me. The minute this became a safety issue the market should have ended. It doesn't give me a lot of confidence that the people running this market care at all about the customers or the people working for them. I normally love to shop local but this experience turned me kinda sour about this market. I appreciate them trying to make fun things to do while being covid safe but when the weather puts people in danger of being hit by items, it becomes pretty ridiculous.

Great variety of vendors from vintage to local artists and a fun atmosphere. Will definitely be going again!
