With a moderate budget, small staff, and devoted volunteer base, we host over 900 free events every year, serve at least 1000 people who use the Commons daily, and another 7,000+ who shop at our weekly farmers market.
Free weekly and monthly programs -- like live music (and dancing), Commons Art-Ins, toddler play and learn sessions, foreign language conversation groups, game nights, T'ai Chi classes, informational lectures, community fairs, and performances by local school groups, studios, and others -- create a hub of connection and serve as a source of strength for surrounding communities across the North King County/South Snohomish area.
Thanks to the support of our donors and partners, all of our programs are free of charge, making them widely accessible to one and all.

Through our local Sunday farmers market, which runs from Mother's Day through mid-October, we support the good health of our surrounding communities and foster a thriving local, sustainable food movement.
Through our own local donor-supported Market Bucks food assistance program for low-income individuals and families -- as well as our participation in SNAP, Fresh Bucks, WIC, and Senior Voucher programs -- we are proud to help provide access to healthy, nutritious produce, meats, and more to our neighbors in need.
