Believe it or not, the Ballard Farmers Market is open for business.

About one third of the vendors were able to make it to Old Ballard.

And most businesses are open, too. Not as many shoppers as usual, but a good turnout considering the magnitude of last night’s snowfall.

Crown Hill resident Claude said he skied down to the market from 75th St.

A snowman adds a little holiday spirit to the Olsen Farms booth. Unlike the Ballard Farmers Market, the Fremont Market is closed today.

Bundled-up shoppers carefully cross Market St. Many stores are open here, too, on the last weekend shopping day before Christmas.
