Third Place Commons wants to hear your story

Third Place Commons invites you to tell your Commons story. 

On the occasion of Third Place Commons’ 20th anniversary as a nonprofit organization, members of the Commons community are invited to share their thoughts about what Third Place Commons and the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market have meant to YOU over the past two decades.

Whether you’re a lifetime local or brand new to the neighborhood, your story matters and Third Place Commons wants to hear it!

Tell your Commons story in approximately 250 words or fewer. It may be featured on the website, on social media, or even at the annual community breakfast (and birthday party) on Thursday, March 5th!

• Write a love letter to Third Place Commons in honor of Valentine’s Day.
