Episode Synopsis

For the past seven months on Friday afternoons, residents of Kent’s Walnut Park neighborhood have been able to pick up fresh produce and dry goods from an outdoor market. And it’s all free. The Walnut Park market is one of four free mobile markets in South King County run by the nonprofit FareStart. RadioActive’s Marian Mohamed lives in Kent and volunteered with FareStart. She talked with Walnut Park residents about what the market means to them.Episode webpage: https://www.kuow.org/stories/kent-walnut-park-farestart-free-mobile-community-marketRadioActive Youth Media is KUOW's radio journalism and audio storytelling program for young people.
