MM has an outstanding produce section -- sourced with local, organic fruit and vegetables. Excellent bulk food and specialty food sections with nearly all organic/natural selections.
Hate to say it, but Whole Foods is now too corporate with their own brand of non-organic items -- and so much of their produce is conventionally grown.
I've been a member for 7 years now, and it's worth supporting your local co-op.

Madison Market has great options for healthy foods, vegan alternatives, non-hydrogenated margarines, bulk organic rices...and of course, treats.
The people who work here are really the reason I keep coming back...I can't see Murdock without smiling at his cheery (and wholely honest) demeanor. The cashier's all remember my son by name, many of the staff have become my friends just by shopping there so much... it's less of a customer-employee interaction, as a friendly human-human interaction. In any given shopping trip, I'll likely get a few hugs, some invitations to get togethers, my son will get stickers and balloons, we'll get lots of yummy and healthy food, some bath salts...
The only reason Mad Market doesn't get five stars, the big downfall, is that they treat the deli and cafe as one entity, and so sometimes you just have to wait a while before you can get coffee. Being in a rush isn't always a good thing, and taking your time isn't always bad...but I thought I'd be honest, that, in a rush, get your coffee someplace else!

I want to add my vote to shop your local independent coop. I have been a member of Madison Market for 25 years and have watched it grow larger and survive in an increasingly competitive market.
If you care about the environment and how your choices impact it then shopping at the coop is an easy way to make sure you are buying not only organically labeled food, but food that is actually produced with integrity. There are too many falsely organically labeled products out there and Madison Market at least screens out the ones they know about (I'm not sure about the lotions/soap products in that respect).
Fresh Seafood, meat section and a great bulk foods section. The produce section is really great in my opinion. Parking garage and elevator are other pluses if you drive.

The last independent food cooperative in Seattle, Madison Market (formerly Central Co-op) is still going strong. They have a large organic produce section and a good selection of organic groceries. There is a parking garage above the store and an elevator to help you get your groceries up there. They are on the 12 bus line and several blocks from the 48 bus line on 23rd and Broadway in the other direction.
They have also been quite generous with produce donations to community groups I'm involved with who cook meals for events. I appreciate their community spirit.

This is a good place for healthy organic foods. The meat and produce sections are excellent, and bulk is good enough. I'd recommend this place to anyone.
The only peeve I have about this place is the attitude of the checkout staff. Most of them are not happy and are not shy at displaying this. I've heard that management is poor, which is definitely reflected.

Mad Market's organic produce, (mostly) sustainable seafood, and meats are of amazing quality! The market isn't huge and you because of its size you can't always find what you're looking for, but if you ask anyone for the item they're quite helpful in trying to offer it in the future. Parking in the parking garage can be a challenge at times (but it's nice to be only 2 blocks away!). I always wish the deli would be comparable to the Skagit Valley Coop in Mt. Vernon, but it does the job. The "beauty" section has a great selection of lotions, soaps, and lip balms - all great stocking stuffers!

I go to Madison Market whenever I want to get something organic, or some really tasty fish (without going to the market). They are a co-op that caters to the yuppie organic health crowd, but there are definitely things there for anyone. Last time I needed some Paneer, I went there and they had it. not sure if there is some place better out there. Would love to hear if someone else responds.
