Fremont Vintage Market is not too far from where I stayed at, Mill Creek, and it is considered the residential area with collectors of vintage items and artists.
I found out that it sits between residential area and business offices, and Google office is among them. How interesting! There were a lot of people at the Fremont Vintage Market, most of them are Caucasians, rarely I saw a few Asian faces. But that's expected since Seattle doesn't have that many Asians or Hispanic populations like we have in California.
Going through booths by booths, I realized that some of them sell very very old items from their grandparent's time, or promoting their hand-made crafts. Some booth owner even sells cookies, hot meals, and coffee. It seems that the vintage market is more of a fun gathering place than a serious display of collection of objects. People are more relaxed than California's swap meet that I've been to in Pomona and City of Industry.
The items that are common to see in this market are fur coats, Asian-inspired robes, big piece jewelries, recreated pieces from old items, paper-made accessories, and furniture.
