SUMMARY: The Bremerton Farmers Market (Market) has requested the ability to conduct beer and
wine tasting and the sale of beer and wine for off premises consumption at the Thursday Market held
in Evergreen Rotary Park. This activity requires amending BMC 13.04.140 which currently prohibits
alcohol in Evergreen Rotary Park and executing an amendment to the license agreement with the
Bremerton Farmers Market. Currently 83 farmers markets taking place at both public and private
locations in Washington State have been licensed by the Washington State Liquor Control Board to
sell beer and wine. The majority of these markets also provide small sized tasting samples (two
ounces) of the products available for sale. The attached proposal from the Bremerton Farmers
Market outlines the requirements listed in the Revised Code of Washington that must to be met by
the Market for the Washington State Liquor Control Board to grant a letter of approval. At their March
24`h meeting the Bremerton Parks and Recreation Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the Market's proposal for beer\wine tasting and sales at Evergreen Rotary Park.
