Our History

In 2018, long-time resident Roger Flygare posted a picture of Wenatchee’s Pybus Public Market on the Nextdoor social media app. He shared his dream that one day Federal Way would have a community-driven public market equal to Pybus. 


A handful of Federal Way residents, sharing that vision, stepped up and dedicated themselves to making the Federal Way Public Market a reality. 


They looked to markets in Puyallup, Pt. Ruston in Tacoma, Olympia, Wenatchee, and Kamloops, BC for inspiration, and talked to their visionaries. 


They met with other like-minded Federal Way residents in-person and on-line to gather ideas and garner support.


Federal Way Public Market is now a 501c3 non-profit.  In 2024, WA State granted the Market $77,000 to complete a feasibility study which will be completed in June 2025.
