After several weeks of big, juicy, awesome local blueberries, Metropolitan Market is all done for the season. Anyone know if there are others anywhere? I don't recall seeing them lately at any of the farmers' markets, though I'll check at Pike Place Market tomorrow and report if I do.
Blueberries in Seattle?

I saw lots of blueberries this past weekend at the Orcas Island farmer's market...you'd think if Orcas still has them, so would mainland farmers markets.
According to the "ripe and ready" sheet for this weeks U District market, they should have them too.

Well whenever the season is actually over don't fret. The dried fruit people at Pikes Place called Simply The Best have dried blueberries that are spectacular. I have ordered from them and they sent me some (as well as pounds of other fruits) just recently.
They're moist and chewy and everything you could ever want from a piece of dried fruit including lots of the true fruit flavor. I've gotten strawberries, cranberries, peaches, pineapple, sour cherries and more. They're nothing like the dried fruit that is usually available, have no added anything and when I mix the blueberries or cranberries or whatever with yogurt they reconstitute to some extent and the whole thing is delicious.

I was able to buy lots of big juicy blueberries at the West Seattle Farmer's market on Sunday.
