Tonight was the first of two nights for the White Center Night Market, hosted by the Cambodian American Community Council of Washington, at 16th/98th.

Many vendors with food and goods from different cultures were available. On the food side of things, offerings included Seattle’s Best BBQ, Let It Snow Hawaiian shaved ice, and Theary Cambodian Foods. Other vendors, such as Lucky Lotus Goods, Novelty Hill Apiary, and Charmed Chūk Jewelry offered fashion and various curiosities.

Featured musicians Dax Millian, Sally Phnouk, Drew Martin, and Young Chayylee performed tonight on the stage set up at the east end of the closed section of SW 98th. We were able to catch some of Dax Millian‘s [/] set:

Many community groups were also in attendance. Health advocates were there to promote the “Fun To Catch, Toxic To Eat” program, raising public awareness about the dangers of consuming non-salmon fish from the Duwamish River. The Cambodian American Community Council, besides hosting the event, was also there to provide information to the public and promote their project of building a local Khmer-American cultural center. The White Center Community Development Association also had a booth for community engagement.

Tomorrow is the second and final night of the White Center Night Market, and will feature even more vendors, booths, and performances, as they will have an additional part of 16th street blocked off for the event. They will start off the day with a car show from the Eazy Duz It Car Club at 2 PM, and the event will then go until 10 PM. If you’d like to find out more information about the event, as well as a list of tomorrow’s performers, go here.
