Description
For over a 2 years, a working group of residents, employees, community organizations, businesses, and property owners in the Cascade/South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle have been meeting at the Cascade People's Center, cafes and parks to discuss their vision of a Farmer's Market. After additional encouragement from the LEED-ND Committee, led by the City of Seattle, this working group began to formalize their process in making this vision a reality.
