Federal Way Public Market
The Federal Way Public Market is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to helping shape Federal Way’s future by creating a dynamic community-driven centerpiece for downtown—a year-round Public Market that fosters commerce, creates connections, and celebrates culture. Through collaboration with residents, city leaders, and local organizations, we aim to develop a sustainable marketplace that meets the needs of Federal Way and its surrounding communities. With your help we can open in 2028.
Community Meetings
FWPM Community Meetings - December 10, 2025
Join us online on Wednesday, December 10th at 12:00 PM or 6:30 PM to hear about our accomplishments and next steps. During this session, we’ll be highlighting key findings from the feasibility study and discussing what they mean for the future of our public market project.
Bring your questions, concerns, and ideas, we will provide time for open dialogue so your voice can be heard. Our goal is to build a public market that connects commerce, community, and culture. This will be our gathering place, and we need to work together to make it a welcoming space for all.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation. See you there!
This is a grassroots effort to build a permanent, enclosed, multi-floor public market in the heart of Federal Way's new downtown. Unlike other projects, this one is built BY and FOR the community in which it will serve. Please join us at one of our online Community Meetings so we can hear your opinions!
A year-round Public Market
Connecting Commerce, Community, and Culture
A vibrant, year-round destination is coming to Federal Way! Our new Public Market will feature local vendors, fresh food, handmade goods, and community events—celebrating the diversity and spirit of our region. It will be a place for community celebrations of all kinds and a permanent home for our beloved Federal Way Farmers Market.
Serving all the South Sound
A regional Public Market reflecting the many cultures of the South Sound
More than just a marketplace, this space is designed to serve as a cultural and economic hub—bringing people together, supporting small businesses, and creating new opportunities for connection and growth.
Feasibility Study!!
Our Feasibility Study is complete and it is very positive!
The Federal Way Public Market, situated next to the Federal Way Downtown Link light rail station will be transformative for Federal Way and the South Sound. Our contractor, Aaron Zaretsky, was a director of the Pike Place Market for 15 years and has helped develop over 65 public markets worldwide.
