Overheard a lady at Third Place Books talking about the Bothell farmers market changes

She was saying the new vendor rules make it harder for small bakers to set up, and I guess the permit fee went up to $150 this year. Any local vendors here have thoughts on whether it's actually affecting who shows up on Saturdays?

$150 permit fee? Yikes. My buddy sells honey and he said his paperwork tripled.

So is the paperwork actually worse than the fee for most people? Like, is it just a one-time headache or does it keep piling up every season?
