Seattle's Pike Place Market

Welcome to Pike Place Market
Seattle's historic Pike Place Market is a popular, year-round destination for city residents and tourists alike, and it turned 100 years old in August 2007! Located just off the waterfront, this multi-level building features dozens of artisans, vegetable growers, flower sellers, craftspeople and more. Load up on organic produce or fresh seafood, or browse the unique gift and specialty shops.
There are also restaurants and brew pubs for your refreshment and dining pleasure. And right across the street is the first ever Starbucks Coffee. Wear comfortable shoes, bring your digital camera, a shopping list if you're so inclined and come experience this one-of-a-kind Seattle tradition.
Weekends it is much more crowded than weekdays, so take that into account if you can't stand an intense crush of people. You will find more merchants and vendors on weekends, so be sure to get info from your favorites so that you know when you can go back and find them again. Best daily deals include fish, flowers, bread and veggies, all found on the street level of the market.

Things I Always Do At Pike Place Market
Look for new PEZ that I don't have yet at the candy stores.
See if there are any veggies I need at the organic vendors. There are tons of great berries and nuts, two crops that grow abundantly in Washington State.
Watch to see if any fish are thrown. I also like to buy fresh salmon, that's one of my faves.
Get fresh little hot donuts - the donut place is on the main level, to the left of the fish-throwing, as you look at it from the front. If you get there after noon, they may be out of certain varieties. They close when they run out of batter so there is often nothing after 2pm.
Get a big bunch of fresh flowers - the $5-$10 bundles offered by the flower seller are amazing deals!

Pike Place Postings
I also like to see them throw the fish at the market. They'll even let you try and catch one they toss.
Matt's is good, small, and sometimes the waiters will even pour themselves a glass of your wine; it's all very friendly, but if you want a romantic dinner, try Chez Shea.
My favorite part of the Market are the flowers sellers and the fact that they all offer HUGE bouquets of mixed flowers for $5-$10. I've never lived in a city where you got fresh flowers as varied or for such a low price.

I lived on Lake Union for two years (2001and 2002). I purchased many items from an artisan called Windhorse. They were actually carved rocks. I haven't been able to make contact with her from where I live presently. Any help out there? Gratias.
Mary, I'm not familiar with an artist by that name, sorry.
Does anybody there carry italian brocolli?
I'm not there regularly, Paul, so it's hard to tell.
I am also looking for the carved rocks people of Pike Place Market. I bought a rock in August 06 and need to order more. I would appreciate if someone could send me their contact info.
Nice Hub! I really enjoy Seattle and don't get t be there often enough.
Nice companion piece to your "Let Me Show You Seattle." Unfortunately, the video says "We're sorry" so I couldn't watch it. I wish I could get there, I'd love to see it in person, especially the trolleys.
Occasionally videos get dropped, so I've found a new one. Guess that gives me a good reason to get down there on a nice day with my video...
They never seem to be throwing the fish when I go. I've lived here all my life, just 30 minutes away from the market and there are tourists that have seen the fish fly more than I have. Great hub!
All anyone needs to do to see fish being thrown is to actually buy some fish at that stand. A lot of people stand around and wait to see something, but if no one is shopping, no fish are flying...
Iove the fish throwing..and I missed. hee hee ..Is a wonderfulplace in Seattle. G-Ma :o)hugs
I think I once saw an entry about the Pike Place Market on Wikipedia, though I couldn't quite recall what they had to say I think this is a nice one from you.
Nice Hub! I live in Kirkland.

We use to live in Seattle and one of our favorite restaurants is Matt's in the Market. It's a loft-like space above the market on the west side of the main street. It's quaint, only about 8 tables, and has great food and wine. Here's the citysearch link: http://seattle.citysearch.com/profile/10767400
