Lynnwood could see farmers market at transit center by spring

EVERETT — The Lynnwood City Council took the first step Monday to establish a farmers market at the city’s light rail station.

The market would be a partnership between the city and Sound Transit. Lynnwood would be able to use the light rail station at no charge — aside from a $5,000 refundable security deposit — in exchange for listing Sound Transit as a sponsor of the market. Lynnwood does not currently have a permanent farmers market.

The $5,000 would come from the City Council’s travel budget, which many council members voluntarily gave up after learning about the city’s budget deficit. Council President Nick Coelho and Lynnwood Chamber of Commerce President Frank Percival presented the idea for the market at the council’s Nov. 3 work session.

“This is an opportunity that seems like it’s too good to pass up,” Coelho said Nov. 3.
