Quintus and Market Organizer, Ryan Reiter hanging in the market

The Fremont Sunday Market is well known for it’s love affair of our canine companions and our short leash policy that allows patrons to walk the market with their four legged friends. The cast of canines are as colorful as the patrons that frequent the market that makes for one of Sunday’s biggest dog parades in town. They are another fun attraction of the market, which makes a great place to take your pup for a Sunday stroll.

This week, we met the colorful and stylish pup pictured here. His name was Quintus and had a wild blue streaks down his back and on his ears.

Next week, we will feature another dog and their owner on our blog.

Every week, we will feature a short collection of photos from our market highlighting the people and ambiance that you will only find at the Fremont Sunday Market every weekend.

The market now offers another 30 booths of antiques, hand crafts, and local musicians.

Two week ago, the Fremont Sunday Market opened it’s latest addition that offers 30 new booths for your shopping pleasure two weeks early. Due to great weather and a large demand by vendors for more space to sell at one of Seattle’s biggest summertime weekend destinations. This cool extension offers over 30 booths from hand crafts, artisan cakes, hand blown glass, and unique antiques and collectibles.

It’s a great oasis from the sunny the main drag of booth s at the market, lined with trees and complimented by local musicians known as “buskers” for people to hang out and relax.

Long time market shopper and bartender at the Red Door Ale House, Nate “Chico” Hamilton can usually be found cruising the Sunday Market for what’s fresh this week before he hops up for his shift.

Every afternoon, the market staff pop up to catch a glimpse of his latest finds showcased behind the bar, complete with a story that sure to be entertaining and worth the price of admission (okay, a beer).

Whether it’s a Hawaiian t-shirt, alligator Christmas lamp, or maybe a clown velvet painting, it’s just fun to see what pops at the market each week.

“We like to think of Nate as one of our many market curators over the years and part of the addictively fun culture that brings people to Fremont every Sunday – it’s our  form of church, says Jon Hegeman, Organizer and Co-Founder of the Fremont Sunday Market.

Well known amongst the locals,  Nate has been the Market’s longtime bartender and community hero behind the bar at the Red Door every Sunday.

“It’s our our other office on Sunday afternoons, where you can escape the sun, grab a cool drink, maybe a bite, then catch what he picked up from downstairs, it’s a just one of many Sunday rituals here in Fremont and look forward to sharing it with everyone” says Hegeman.
