The Olympia Farmer's Market opened this weekend!

"Stall"wart vendors and market goers braved the wet and windy weather to begin the new season. 

Viva la mercado!

More Olympia Market sketches

I'm so glad Olympia's market has covered areas. I was sitting at a picnic table under the covered music venue sketching this scene, when a deluge hit. Not your usual Northwest rain, more like a typhoon. Hence all the shoppers scattered to the market rim.

Balloon-making pirate with accompaniest - quite a character.
