Spring and the Yakima Market

I always show up at the Yakima Market in Bothell on the first day they open--I consider it the 'real' first day of Spring!  This year, they opened March 5 at 6 a.m., and I was there at 7 a.m.!  The owner said that it isn't really Spring until I show up!

Each year, they make improvements to the stand, and this year the layout was outstanding.  I bought a hanging basket of purple pansies, they are growing quickly over the rim of the pot. 

Here are some shots of this lovely market that keeps me in flowers, fruits and vegetables until late Fall each year.
