Pike Place Market
general info | photo gallery | map & directions
The Pike Place Market is the oldest continually operating farmers market in the United States, it is a place where farmers, craftspeople, and artists display their goods. It is a free-form funhouse of sights, smells, sounds, and characters. Salmon fly through the air, and vegetable and flower displays are turned into works of art.
This nine-acre historic district hosts nine million visitors each year who come to experience the unique sites and sounds of Seattle's downtown public market. Helping to make up the Market experience are more than 100 farmers, 150 craftspeople, nearly 300 commercial business people and 50 performers.
Just a few steps east of the market is the commercial heart of Seattle, a lively downtown district of department stores, specialty shops, renovated historic theaters, hotels of every size, multiplex cinemas, espresso stands, restaurant and shopping experiences such as Westlake Center, City Centre and Pacific Place.
