Pike Place Market

On the two floors of picturesque Pike Place Market, vendors offer a wide range of wares for sale. Market tours are an ideal way to cut through the bustle of Pike Place and hear some unusual stories. Fish, fruit, vegetables, and all sorts of odds and ends tantalize the taste buds and camera lenses. If you don’t have the hotel facilities to cook up some seafood, head to one of the 80 local restaurants, or pick up goodies to bring home from one of the specialty food stores. In addition to plentiful food choices, there are more than 200 proprietor-operated shops that range from antiques and collectibles to bookstores and quirky specialty shops. The historic nine-acre shopping haven also includes a crafts market that features 225 local and regional creators.
