If you are looking for local honey in Seattle, you are in the right place. Seattle Urban Honey is a small-batch honey producer based in Seattle, Washington. We keep bees across multiple Seattle neighborhoods — from Green Lake to the University District — and harvest raw, unfiltered honey directly from our own urban hives. No middlemen, no co-ops, no out-of-state sourcing. Every jar comes from bees we manage in Seattle zip codes.
Where to Buy Local Honey in Seattle
There are two ways to get Seattle Urban Honey:
University District Farmers Market
We sell every Saturday at the University District Farmers Market, located at 50th & University Way NE, Seattle, WA. Hours are 9am to 1pm, year-round — rain or shine. You can taste before you buy, ask questions about the bees, and pick up seasonal varieties as they become available. It is one of Seattle’s longest-running weekly markets and a great way to meet the beekeeper directly.

What Makes Seattle Urban Honey Different
Urban honey is not the same as rural or wildflower honey from large-scale operations. Seattle bees forage across an unusually diverse landscape: residential gardens, city parks, street trees, green belts, and urban preserves. That diversity shows up in the flavor. Each hive site produces honey with its own character, shaped by what is blooming nearby and when.
We also keep our hives in specific named locations — not generic “Pacific Northwest” sourcing. When we say linden honey from Green Lake or big leaf maple honey from the UW Center for Urban Horticulture, we mean exactly that. You can trace every jar to a neighborhood.
Our Seattle Honey Varieties
We produce several single-source honey varieties, each harvested from a specific floral source and location:
- Blackberry honey — harvested from blackberry thickets near Fall City, WA. Bold, jammy, and deeply fruity. Our most popular variety.
- Big leaf maple honey — from the UW Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle. Light, buttery, and delicate. One of the rarest honeys in our lineup.
- Linden honey — from linden trees lining the streets around Green Lake. Bright lime and pear notes with a smooth finish.
- Knotweed honey — from Japanese knotweed near Fall City. Dark amber, malty, and earthy — one of the most distinctive honeys in the Pacific Northwest.
All varieties are raw and unfiltered. We do not heat or process the honey after extraction, which preserves the natural enzymes, pollen, and flavor compounds that make each variety what it is.
Why Buy Local Honey Near You
Buying local honey means you know where it came from, who made it, and how it was handled. Mass-market honey is often blended from multiple countries, ultra-filtered to remove pollen (which also removes traceability), and heated to extend shelf life. Local raw honey is none of those things. It is also a direct connection to the plants blooming in your region — the same blackberries and linden trees you walk past every day.
