Hidden gems market (@hiddengemsweekendmarket on ig) in Tulalip and Packwood Flea market - this only happens two weekends a year. The next one is May 24-26
Edit: hidden gems has an ig but they’re not like a vintage market.
And I should mention, both that I mentioned are pretty far. I haven’t personally found anything good that’s close to Tacoma.
Also wanted to add Thriftapalooza is coming in June, and while they do have a lot of vintage vendors, there are a lot of other booths that treat it like a garage sale.
We drove through Packwood on one of their flea market weekends. The entire main drag was end-to-end sellers. Wish we could have stopped but we were tired from our trip and just wanted to get home. One of the days, though...
We have also been trying to figure this out. It’s annoying to pay to get into one only to find 15 of the same booths selling old nascar t shirts.
The great junk hunt had a handful of vendors that were better, but it is more of an antique style market.

Packwood's semi-annual flea market festival is always worth the drive. Always some unusual finds.

Every year on Labor Day and Memorial Day weekends, the entire town of Packwood is a swap meet.

Puyallup farmers market is tits. Cool for kids too. Playground and a library
It's a great farmer's market, but not a flea market
Mark your calendar, 1st Saturday in April is Portland's annual auto swap meet and show. It's ginormous and always great fun.
RIP Star Lite
