We want make sure that the Market is safe for all! Here is what one customer from the Market had to say:
"Hi, I just came from the Mercer Island Farmers Market. What a delightful place to go! THANK YOU for not having dogs in the market! I actually wore some slacks I didn't care about as where I have been before one goes home with the wipes from dogs noses all over their slacks or legs. Not here, and it was a pleasant surprise. Very noticeably pleasant."
