"Two of Seattle's most popular farmers markets will re-open this weekend, but organizers want to be very clear - there are some big changes.

The Ballard and University District farmers' markets closed weeks ago at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak. Now they have a special one week permit to operate.

The University District Farmers Market will open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 18.

The Ballard Farmers Market is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 19.

Organizers say less than a third of the booths will be open and they're offering drive-up and reservation options. They will also restrict the number of people allowed in at one time.

These are just some of the dozens of strict safety precautions the market is taking.

"This is not a social experience," said Doug Farr of the Seattle Farmers Markets Association. "For 20 years we've loved to be the center place of neighborhoods. This is not the time or the place."

Organizers encourage only one family member from each household to show up and will restrict time in the market to 10 minutes".

Interesting. Farmers' markets in my state, NM, have stayed open, because, like grocery stores, they're a food sales operation, and so are deemed "essential". They need to meet new guidelines, but were approved by the appropriate state office in late March.

Hopefully this helps them keep afloat, they probably run with pretty tight margins but nothing beats a summer farmer’s market and would hate to see them go under

Good to see. It's also uplifting to see Boeing factory workers go back to their jobs, albeit with safety precautions.

Speaking of plane production, how's the auto industry doing? What's going on there?
