Here's a hint - go to the Shoreline Farmers Market early and ready for a continental breakfast.

Steve Robinson always goes to the market just before it opens. Crowds are thin and lines are very short. An hour later and it will be a different scene.

So start with a yummy pastry from the Snohomish Bakery.

Kathmandu MoMoCha

Then get an exotic cha from Kathmandu MoMoCha.

Weaving Coffee Roaster

Weaving Coffee Roaster was offering a free Purple Rain sample. They sell beans, so you'll have to go home and make your own (gourmet) coffee.

PK Dwyer was absorbed in his music and didn't notice that the crowds weren't there yet.

The pavement is always available for artists.
