For over 30 years, the Bellingham Farmers Market has been a vibrant hub for local culture, community, and connection. Established in 1993, the market grew from earlier iterations dating back to the late 1970s, including a market once held at the old train station on Railroad Avenue, now the bus depot.

The market found its permanent home in 2006 with the completion of Depot Market Square, a project led by dedicated citizens and the City of Bellingham. The pavilion honors the site’s history as the 1895 Railroad Depot, incorporating elements like a refurbished Skagit County bridge and a historic train bell that rings each Market day.

Thank you to the vendors, volunteers, staff, and customers who’ve shaped the market into the cherished gathering place it is today!
