Artisan markets have become more popular in Washington in recent years, and we’re loving them. These spots offer the chance to not only pick up some fresh local food for dinner, but purchase gifts, household items, handmade goodies, and more. Seattle’s Melrose Market has been around for more than a decade, and it seems to get better with each passing year. If you’re not up for the hustle and bustle of Pike Place, check it out the next time you’re in the area. 

Melrose Market is located in a set of historic automotive buildings constructed between 1919 and 1926, giving it a unique look.
