The last Farmer’s Market of the season is a chance for the residents of Sammamish to discover the “hidden treasures” of the city’s robust home-based business community.

The Sammamish Chamber of Commerce and Swedish Hospital will be hosting a home-based business fair from 3:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1, inside the Sammamish Farmer’s Market at the Sammamish City Commons, 801 228th Ave. S.E., between City Hall and the library.

Chamber Executive Deborah Sogge said that bringing together home-based services ranging from CPAs and lawyers to importers and baby clothes vendors in one place to promote them to citizens is good for everyone involved.

“These aren’t just small, unprofitable companies,” Sogge said. “We are putting together consumers and business owners, showcasing businesses that can’t be seen because they don’t have a traditional storefront.”

Between 3,500 and 4,000 home-based businesses are licensed within the Sammamish city limits, Sogge said.

“We are very proud of our home-based businesses,” she said. “We want to show them off…it is a fun way to discover the community.”

As of Sept. 18, 15 slots remained open for vendors to display at the fair. Reserving a spot is free for Chamber members, $25 for non-members. Vendors need to bring their own tables, chairs and canopy.
