On Wednesday August 6th, 2014 Selah’s Wednesday Market had their eighth day of the season market. Selah’s Wednesday Market is held at King’s Row at 210 S. 1st Street in Selah, Washington.

This week the vendors gave out raffle tickets for every five dollars you spent at their booth. In between songs there was a raffle drawing. If you won you pick out a prize from their special prize basket. Everyone had a wonderful time

Selah’s Wednesday Market’s mission is bringing the Selah and Yakima Valley communities together through the “fruits and labor” of our local farmers, artisans and organizations.

This is a weekly family fun event that is held at all summer. This year it runs from June 18th through September 24th.
