A downtown market, then a park party
Saturday stacks a downtown makers market with a free family party at Cedar Grove Park. The park starts while the market is still open.
Saturday downtown
Making Local Market
Sat Sep 19 · 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Bothell City Hall Plaza, 18415 101st Ave NE, and the First & Main parking lot
An outdoor market of PNW makers: art, pottery, books, plants, food, and home goods. Lost The Plot Books, a mobile bookstore at the market, lists this date and these hours at City Hall. The host page describes the layout as City Hall Plaza on 101st and the First & Main Design Market lot.
Free parking is in the garage under City Hall. The elevator lets out on the upper level of the market, with ramps down to the street. Leashed pets are welcome. The host asks for water and bags, and asks that dogs stay off vendor tables. No single ticket price is posted. Vendors set their own payment. Students under 18 who want service hours need a parent permission slip if they volunteer.
Stay for Main Street after the stalls. Pop Shops on Main are the host’s suggestion, not a separate kids’ show.
Saturday at the park
Unidos en Cultura
Sat Sep 19 · 2:00–4:00 p.m.
Cedar Grove Park, 22425 9th Ave SE
Free, and built for families. King County Library System and the City of Bothell list a teen-led Latine Heritage Month party: a Bad Bunny lookalike contest, free Venezuelan rice bowls from Paparepas, free empanadas from Mojito, salsa with La Clave Cubana, papel picado, crafts, music, and field games. All ages welcome. Funded by the KCLS Foundation and the Friends of the Bothell Library.
The market is still open until 4:00, so 2:00 is the handoff if you want both. Cedar Grove is south of downtown, not a walk from City Hall with tired kids. Drive or bus between them.
The Landing, if Saturday is full
No ticketed program is posted at the Park at Bothell Landing this week. The river path and the playground are the weekday outing. The Sammamish River Trail passes the park.
Bothell Library, 18215 98th Ave NE, does not show a storytime inside this Monday–Sunday span on the branch’s current list. The next dated kids’ sessions on that page are Monday, Sep 28.
Next Saturday is Sustainamania at City Hall Plaza, and Oktoberfest at McMenamins Anderson School the same afternoon.
