The Phinney Farmers Market is from 3-7 p.m. in the upper parking lot of the Phinney Neighborhood Association, 6532 Phinney Ave. N. Fresh veggies, fruit, flowers, honey, bread and more, plus several dinner options: tamales and quesadillas, pizza, stuffed waffles on a stick, and naan with various toppings.
Friday is the first day of the 10-day Gumshoe 5K Walk, a fun scavenger hunt through the neighborhood. Purchase an entry form for $20 (or $15 for two) at Ken’s Market, Phinney Ridge Starbucks, Couth Buzard Books or the PNA, then follow the clues to see all kinds of quirky spots around Phinney Ridge and Greenwood.
