Seattle Antiques Market

On the Central Waterfront across the street from the Seattle Aquarium and the Seattle Great Wheel, and down the steps from Pike Place Market, the Seattle Antiques Market has been in the same spot since 1978.

Tips for Flea and Vintage Hunting in Seattle

Go early for the best pieces: the Fremont Sunday Market opens at 10 a.m., and arriving near opening gives you first pick of the booths.
Dress for the weather: outdoor markets run rain or shine, so bring a layer and a tote that can get wet.
Check dates the week of: pop-up and seasonal markets change venues and dates, so confirm on the official site.
Bring a way to carry it home: plan ahead for bigger finds like furniture, or ask the seller about holding an item while you fetch the car.

Buying secondhand is one of the best ways to support small sellers. For more independent makers and shops, read our guide to shopping local in Seattle.
