We had grand plans. In March 2016 we got the keys to the iconic Seven Seas building in downtown Seattle, best known as the long time home of The Lusty Lady stripclub. We planned to use three of the building's six stories to hold markets on two weekends in May – one on the second weekend, and one on the last weekend, with a different mix of vendors on each weekend. Alas, it wasn't to be. The building was deemed unsafe by the Seattle Fire Marshall, we cancelled everything, and had to scramble to find a new location which took about 6 weeks. Despite the diasppointment we held on to the building for close to two years and never held a flea market there, but had a hell of a lot of fun on a smaller scale.
