About this audio guide
The guide to the Fremont Sunday Street Market in Seattle traces it back to 1990, when Jon and Candace Hegeman, tired of the decade-long wait for a Pike Place stall, opened a scrappy alternative on a gravel lot by the Fremont Bridge, with a portable pizza oven as one of its first draws. It follows how the market grew fast enough to split in two, sending farmers off to found a new market in Ballard while Fremont turned into part flea market, part street fair. The one rule that stuck, the guide notes, was that this was never a swap meet for dumping cheap junk on a blanket.
