Park it at the Market
We know finding a spot to park for the market isn't always easy so wanted to share a place to park you might not know about and a few places to watch out for.
Our neighbors just a couple blocks away on Park Street, Kitsap Community Resources (KCR), have very graciously allowed parking in their lot after 4:30pm. We greatly appreciate their generosity to us and our community where they do so much for so many!
CJ's Evergreen General Store is another fantastic advocate of our market and community, please remember that the 30-minute parking directly in front of the store is for their customers only.
And we kindly ask you to be considerate neighbors by parking only in designated areas. Note that the boating area has only four designated parking spots for market parking. Vehicles parked outside these four spots in the boating area may be ticketed by Parking Enforcement. Yikes!
Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you for another stellar market day!
