Pike Place Market

Pike Place Market is the heart of Seattle’s culture and community. Since 1907, this bustling marketplace has been home to farmers, fishmongers, artisans, and small businesses, all rooted in the city’s commitment to “meet the producer.” Visitors are greeted by the iconic neon sign, the smell of fresh flowers, and the calls of vendors tossing salmon through the air. Beyond the energy, Pike Place also offers cozy moments: sipping coffee at the original Starbucks, listening to street musicians, or wandering into hidden nooks of bookstores and craft shops. Overlooking Elliott Bay, the market blends sustainability through local food systems with hygge through the joy of gathering, browsing, and connecting with community.
