A bookstore morning, and a Sunday market
Wednesday is storytime at Island Books. Sunday is the farmers market, with one Sunday left after this one. Library storytime for Oct 4 was not on the September list.
Wednesday
Storytime for Kids
Wed Sep 30 · 10:30–11:00 a.m.
Island Books, 3014 78th Ave SE
Picture books in the children’s section. ParentMap lists this date as open to all ages and ideal for 3–5. Free. The store is open at 9:00 a.m.
Saturday, Oct 3, is the day Nancy Stewart often sings at 9:30 a.m. The store’s September calendar stops at Sep 26 and says to check for off weeks. Look at the October page before you promise a 1-to-4-year-old that Saturday slot.
Sunday market
Mercer Island Farmers Market
Sun Oct 4 · 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
7700 SE 32nd St
Not the last Sunday. The city lists the season through Oct 11, so next Sunday is the closer. Same hours, 10:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m.
Family storytime at the library was on the calendar for Sep 20 and Sep 27 at 11:15 a.m. Oct 4 was not on that grid. Do not plan the library at 11:15 unless the branch page shows it that morning. The market does not depend on it.

The lake
Luther Burbank Park
Sunday afternoon, after the market
Luther Burbank Park
The market ends at 2:00. The park is the second half of Sunday. Docks and paths, no ticket. The swim beach may already be on fall rules. The park page says whether the water is open.
Downtown lunch is the block around the market and Island Books. No restaurant posted a family special for this week. Hours are on each door.
