On Saturday mornings, the Ave isn't just for college students: It's also the place to experience the University District farmers market (open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.), Seattle's oldest neighborhood market. Located at Northeast 50th Street and University Way Northeast, the market hosts more than 50 farmers each week; these days, string beans are the hot commodity. Several varieties are available (including Blue Lakes and Burgundy), and you don't have to be shy about asking for a taste (or a recipe) from the farmers. If the rain gets you down as you explore the markets, just think of the thirsty farms that desperately needed some late-summer replenishment. And keep an eye open for the Asian pears, French pumpkins and Kumamoto oysters currently gracing market tables.
