Don't miss a visit to Pike's market & surrounding area. Take your time & explore all levels of the market. Talk to the vendors and taste the food. I highly recommend taking the Seattle Bites Tour. Not only do you get 10 samples from various vendors(all delicious...especially the clam chowder)you get a history of the market & various food vendors. More

It was very difficult maneuvering through the crowds. There is a variety of stores and restaurants. The highlight of our visit was the Northwest Tribal Art Gallery of Fine Native American Art. This is the real deal; no fake ones or mass produced pieces. Each article has a biography of the artist and signed. I am of Tlingit decent (Alaska).... More

Over run with tourists and some locals. Hard time finding anywhere to eat at lunch time come the weekends. Great place to just stroll through and people watch. More

If you want to have an eclectic experience, with lots of smells, foods, flowers, crafts plus one of the best places to people watch, visit here. Watch fish being tossed around, fresh cheeses to be sampled, fun restaurants with market-fresh foods and observe some very interesting people. The Market is the center of Seattle. It has history. A must for... More

One cannot go to Seattle without a trip to the Pike Place Market. The flowers are absolutely beautiful, and the items made by artisans are wonderful and plentiful. One is able to bask in the market atmosphere, and watch the famous fish throwers. A total experience! Lots of interesting items to choose from and give as gifts. More
