MUKILTEO—The Mukilteo Farmers Market returned Wednesday after an extended hiatus, drawing shoppers to Lighthouse Park for its first day of the 2026 season with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a lively mix of local vendors.
City Councilwoman Donna Vago along with Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival Board President Megan Reed cut the ribbon at 2:45 p.m. to reopen the market at 609 Front St. on the City’s waterfront. Organized by volunteers of the Mukilteo Lighthouse Festival which will launch its festival this year for September 11-13th 2026, the farmers market will run from 3 to 7 p.m. every Wednesday from June 3 through August 26. Organizers said the revival offers residents fresh local produce, handmade goods and a community gathering spot with views of Puget Sound.
The market’s return aligns with community efforts to boost local events and economic activity along Mukilteo’s waterfront. Lynnwood Times reporter Mario Lotmore broadcast live from the event, where he walked through the market, which featured about two dozen vendors selling everything from fresh berries and baked goods to pet accessories and flowers.
One of the busiest booths belonged to Reham’s Cake Gallery. Reham, who is from Egypt, shared family recipes that have been part of her baking business for 14 years. She offers Egyptian holiday cookies known as kahk, apricot jam cookies, baklava made with a custom simple syrup instead of honey and a hint of cinnamon in the walnut filling, kanafeh with a milk-pudding filling, and her take on Dubai chocolate cake layered with pistachio-filled kanafeh and chocolate ganache. She also displayed a fragrant Persian love cake made with rose water, citrus zest and cardamom.
“You will fall in love with it once you have a spoon,” Reham told the Lynnwood Times.
Reham shared that this was her first time at the Mukilteo Farmers Market but she regularly sets up at events across the region. You may find her on Instagram or Facebook where you can learn more about her delicious desserts—this is a Lynnwood Times must try!
Ashley of Howling Mad Creations displayed handmade pet necklaces, slings and toys, including special Pride Month items. Customers can customize necklaces with pet names. The booth’s star attraction is Ashley’s 180-pound Great Dane, Murdoch, who accompanies her to markets.
Logan from Hayton Farms, based on Fertile Island in Mount Vernon about an hour north of Mukilteo, offered two varieties of strawberries: Shusetsins, a soft, sweet June-bearing type developed at Washington State University in 1970 and ideal for baking and jams, and firmer, sweeter Albins, an everbearing variety popular for fresh snacking.
There were fruits by Amador Farms from the Yakima Valley who sold cherries, oranges and apples, while 2 Guys Grilling Wheels offered Filipino skewers.
Little Prague Bakery, a local Mukilteo business on Second Street, sold European strudels including cherry-apple, raspberry, rhubarb-strawberry cake and poppy-seed cream cheese varieties.
A booth for Explore Nature Together promoted its summer camp for children 12 and under, with outings to Japanese Gulch in Everett, Water Beach and the Mukilteo Community Garden. Camp begins the last week of June; registration is available at explorenaturetogether.com.
