There’s still a chance to view and provide feedback on the Re-Imagining the Farmers Market Project:

View the designs at the Library! The design posters from last Saturday’s public meeting are hanging up in the Vashon Library’s Meeting Room for all to view. Stop by and take a look. The third poster shows two different design options and the UW Storefront studio welcomes feedback and preferences on these ideas. Feel free to use the paper clipped to the posters to provide your comments and ideas and leave them clipped to the big posters. Or, email your ideas to me. These posters will be at the library until March 7th.
 
Come to the next Public Meeting: Re-Imagining the Farmers Market Community Meeting Saturday, March 7, 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM At the Village Green (Farmers Market).
 
In inclement weather, the meeting will be moved to the Ober Park Performance Room in the Parks District Building at Ober Park.
 
Come anytime between 2:30 - 4:30 to view the next phase of design ideas for Re-Imagining the Farmers Market. The UW Director and students will be at the meeting to share their designs and ideas with the community. The UW Storefront Studio and VIGA encourage community input during the project. This project is supported by a King County Community Services Area Grant.
 
The University of Washington (UW) College of Built Environments (CBE) Storefront Studio return to Vashon Island to develop designs that re-imagine the Vashon Farmers Market for the Vashon Island Growers Association (VIGA). Under the direction of UW Storefront Studio Director Jim Nicholls, three graduate students –Jared Luther, Kirk Malanchuck, and Michael Riha – are developing design ideas to revitalize and reconfigure the Vashon Farmers Market to better serve the community and the growth of the Farmers Market. This project is supported by a King County Community Services Area Grant and community engagement and input throughout the process is encouraged.
 
This project builds upon two previous UW projects on Vashon and Maury Islands. It follows a 2012 King County funded UW Storefront Studio project, in which students assessed and recommended ways to revitalize the community’s commercial structures. In 2014 a group of UW Urban Planning graduate students analyzed and recommended ways to enhance Vashon and Maury Islands’ agriculture sector. Both previous projects.
