Power the Farms of Pike Place Market
The floods are gone, but for Market farmers, recovery is just beginning.
In December 2025, devastating floods swept across western Washington, leaving the fields and livelihoods of many Pike Place Market farmers underwater. Greenhouses were swept away, equipment and inventory destroyed, and crops were lost. The full impact on the soil, perennial plants, and bulbs won’t even be known until the spring growing season.
The need is urgent. An initial assessment shows the scale of the crisis:
- 84% of Market farmers were impacted by flooding.
- 64% reported damage to critical infrastructure like greenhouses and irrigation.
- 60% lost essential machinery and tools.
