Spokane Valley Farmers’ Market

“I just love Spokane Valley and I love serving the community,” says Katy Lee, manager of the Spokane Valley Farmers’ Market.

Her passion and commitment to the market can be seen whether she’s giving a new farmer or artisan their first break into the market scene or pulling her wagon full of cold water bottles around the market and handing them out to her vendors to keep them going on a hot Friday afternoon. Katy’s attitude is reflected in her vendors and the market as a whole: more than just a market to sell goods, they are family.

Much of the programming at the Spokane Valley Farmers’ Market is built for families to have a great time together, and Katy likes to call it a “weekly fair.” The newly completed West Lawn of Centerplace will host Food Truck Nights, featuring seven rotating food trucks and a DJ spinning something the kids can let loose to.

Accessible from Mirabeau Park, the Centennial Trail, the waterfall or the Spokane River, the Spokane Valley Farmers’ Market offers a laid back atmosphere where families sit on green areas eating dinner and kids run through the splash pad and play with friends at Discovery Playground. This market is a place with something for everyone.
