FARMBOAT !!
A farmers market on the historic Virginia V.
They will be docked at Lake Union every Thursday through Christmas.
The group is in the process of restoring a historic Halibut Fleet boat and will take the market "on the road" to towns up and down Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands. This was once a common means of getting freah products to these small towns. The Virginia V was used to transport farm goods to Seattle from Vashon Island back in the early 1900's

Good luck to all involved. It sounds like a fun and exciting program. They will even offer the opportunity to ride aboard to the different ports of call. Certainly an interesting way to see the local area in a slow relaxed pace.
What a great idea, I hope you will keep us up to date on them. They remind me of the steam boats that still travel between the island in the Stockholm archipelago. I love old boats -- the viking in me, I guess. Also, I read your favorite book list with interest. Do you read fiction at all?
ReplyDeleteI meant to say islands above.
ReplyDeleteOh yes indeed I do read fiction. The book list reflects my favorite natural history books for Washington and general nature nutting.

What a great idea!
