WEEKEND: Flea market continues today in downtown Port Angeles

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, Dec. 5.

PORT ANGELES — A holiday flea market begins its second week today in the downtown building that once housed Maurices, the women’s clothing store.

About 15 local vendors sell handcrafted furniture, glassware, jewelry, household gift items, CDs, collectibles and vintage items inside the building at 104 W. First St., next to the “Olympic Visions” mural, Conrad Dyar Memorial Fountain and community Christmas tree.

The flea market is run by John Nelson, longtime North Olympic Peninsula event planner, tour guide and former Peninsula Daily News music columnist.

Its hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays.

It will be open through Sunday, Jan. 4.

The market is also a dropoff site for toys for the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program and nonperishable food items for the Port Angeles Food Bank.

Proceeds from sales at a vendor booth sponsored by Brocante Antique Mall, a downtown business, go to Operation Uplift, the cancer support organization.

Nelson said vendor space is still available.

For vendor information or questions, phone Nelson at 360-775-9128.
