PORT TOWNSEND -- Despite blustery wind and falling raindrops, crowds turned out with excitement on the opening day Saturday of the Port Townsend Farmers Market.

Rows of booths selling fresh, locally grown produce, plants, crafts and food lined Tyler Street where it intersects with Lawrence Street to kick off the 2006 season of the Farmers Market, the largest regular outdoor market west of Seattle.

Beginning at 9 a.m., market vendors provided local residents with what they've been anticipating all winter long.
