  0 0 This is a tough time for apples, because the normal harvest time is fall, so only varieties that keep in storage will be available now. Pink Lady is one of those. But the price will be higher. You might try a Braeburn if you can find them, or a Fuji if you want a little sweeter. A good place to look for cheap produce is your neighborhood fruit stand. Not a farmers' market; while those are great, their prices are high. I'm talking about the seasonal places that are opening up around town just about now, like Top Banana across from Ballard High School, Rising Sun across from Roosevelt, Yakima Fruit Market up on Bothell Way, or MacPherson's on 15th S in Beacon Hill. Also, if you can get to an Asian market, their prices on all kinds of produce will blow you away. Viet Wah in the Rainier Valley, HT Market at 100th and Aurora in the old Larry's building, or a couple of dozen places in the ID.

I always think of Apples as a fall thing, but people seem to refer to them as being "in season" all year 'round. Odd. I'll check out the places you suggested. Frick commented about 1 year ago | Report 1 0 Top Banana has been open year round for a while now, something to do with the crappy economy. keshmeshi commented about 1 year ago | Report 1 0 Apples from last falls harvest are kept in CA (Controlled Atmosphere)storage which stops the ripening process. That is why they are available fresh year round.

  0 0 Pacific Rose apples are tasty and very similar to Pink Ladies, and are usually cheaper, although they're not as common. I wish I could tell you where to buy them, but I don't live in Seattle. They are grown in Washington, though, so you should be able to find them.
