After three years of working to create a groundswell under its booths, the Tacoma Farmers Market Board of Directors has decided to give its Dome District location a break for 2008. The TFM website chalks the market’s lackluster success up to low traffic and unprofitability. Says board president Richard Hines, “We want to look at it again when there is more population density and a base of shoppers directly in and around the Dome neighborhood who are committed to having their own market.” Later this year, the board will review the status of the Dome District location again and make an announcement regarding reopening the market for 2009. If you would like more information or to make your voice heard, you may contact Mr. Hines via the TFM site.
