Floating Farmers Market "FarmBoat" in Seattle - Thursdays until July 28th from 11am-3pm

The same place where you can attend a Tugboat Storytime aboard a real tugboat posted previously here is also the same area where you can check out "FarmBoat", the Floating Farmers Market which is docked at Lake Union Park Wharf! So, on Thursdays you can take the kiddos to the storytime on the "Arthur Foss" Tugboat, then head on over and check out the fresh produce, crafts, and specialty foods of the Floating Farmers Market aboard the 1922 historic wooden steamship the "Virginia V".  You can  tour the ship for free and learn about agricultural and maritime heritage of the Puget Sound area while you browse the goods. If you decide to have lunch there they mention that there are some pretty amazing Seattle and Lake Union views to enjoy as well. Sounds like a feast for all of the senses!
