A Colorful Kingston Public Market Shopper

For those of you who have visited the Kingston Public Market, before or after embarking on a journey to Edmonds or beyond, I hope you enjoyed it “almost” as much as our Saturday Market here in Sequim.

I was introduced to the market when my husband and I owned a boat which we would take into Kingston for yacht club get togethers, or simply while vacationing, and it was something we always looked forward to visiting. The market is conveniently located next to the ferry terminal, and the moorage docks.

Like Sequim’s market, it hosts local artisans, woodturners, local growers, food vendors, multi-genre musicians, etc, but in Kingston, you can pull up some grass and picnic on the lawn if you choose, all while munching and/or listening to music.

And, if you’re a people watcher like me, you may find yourself wanting to snap a few pics of the shoppers, the band, or whomever, or whatever, happens to strike your eye, as this young woman did mine.

I found her colorful attire and style to be an immediate draw for my camera lens and fortunately, she was happy to oblige when I requested a photo. All the while I was envisioning a future art poster or painting to capture not only her features, but her vibe; the same colorful and creative vibe I got from the market.
