Located on 236th Street Southwest north of Safeway, the event featured a range of vendors selling everything from jewelry to sides of beef to produce to arts and crafts. Live music was provided by local band Lazuli Shoals, that kept up a steady beat of danceable tunes.
Sponsored by the City of Edmonds, the Uptown Market will run on five more Tuesday evenings this summer: July 19 and 26 and Aug. 9, 16 and 23 between 4-8 p.m.
