I can only speak as a public customer (not a florist). If you're the same, just skip it. You won't get any deals here, in fact you'd probably be better off just going straight to one of the neighborhood or Pike Place Farmers Markets.
The good: The selection is beautiful, more unique and there are more variations than what you'd find at a grocery store or probably local Farmers Markets. You could come here and just get a unique bundle or two to help spruce up an otherwise standard bouquet elsewhere.
The cons: It's very expensive for what you get. I probably have enough florals to make 2-3 bouquets that are around the size of the $25-$30 bouquets at a Farmers Market. Unfortunately, it cost me $200.
Prices are not clearly marked for most florals (they're posted to 1 bulletin board and you would have to know the exact flower type in order to get an idea of pricing). So you do not find out your total until you check-out. Then, you're left in the awkward position of having to downsize at the register when all of the sudden a few bundles comes to $300+ like mine did.
The staff also didn't seem to know their own promotions, and/or the item codes don't have these promotions tied to them. I had to remind the cashier that 2 of my bundles were supposed to be "1/2 off". She then asked me if there were any other discounted bundles in my order.
Lastly, the receipts are not itemized. I still have no clue what the different florals came to. I know I got rid of the most expensive two (1 garden rose bunch for $64, and a different bunch for $30+) but I assume the rest were about $10-$20 each based on the range on the pricing sheets.
It's definitely a space meant for professionals who know exactly what they're looking for and are getting the wholesale prices. Which is okay! But be warned it's a VERY hands-off experience if you're just a regular Joe. There were 3 other people there for the first time also and all of them/us had to seek out an associate to understand the process, pricing, etc. It's not intuitive by any means. Or cost effective. Or convenient due to the limited public hours and appointment only.
But if you're a florist, I'm sure it's great! I don't know that I'll ever go back due to the sticker shock, however. 2.5 bouquets for the price of 6.

I reserved 3 of the buckets and picked them up on a Friday during the public hours and then purchased a few additional bundles in order to make bouquets and wedding arch flowers that we did ourselves. They were easy to work with and provided information to make our mission a success. Love how all the flowers turned out. There were so many options for colors and styles of flowers!

Amazing flowers and foliages grown by local member farmers that are owners of this Co-op. You can find a lot of things here that you won't find at other floral wholesalers. If you come in on a Monday or Wednesday you might even meet the farmer who grew them! The market is open to the public to shop Fridays from 10am until noon.
The best assortment of flowers begins in Spring with local fancy tulips, sweet peas, lilac and peonies then swings into dahlia mode during the summer with the most incredible assortment of dahlias outside of the state fair.
Gina Thresher
The best place to buy American grown flowers. Local growers, and cuts from cali and hawaii. Very beautiful product and friendly knowledgeable staff. So thankful for all of their hard work.

Unless you have a business as a florist, be prepared for 100% mark-up. I had three bunches of common flowers, which ended up being about $80.00. So no deal here for retail customers.
Zion Hilliker
Flowers directly from local farms with great service from the staff. What could be better?
Barbara LaFayette
Best fresh flowers and so much selection
