We were told to go around 11 AM and plan on spending a couple of hours, then sit down and grab some lunch. So that’s what we did and it seemed like good advice. It’s large, several blocks long and several floors high. Of course, there is the fresh fish being tossed. So much fresh seafood on ice, it’s hard to imagine. There is also a huge selection of fresh fruit, vegetables and especially flowers at really good prices. Plus arts and crafts, shops of all varieties, restaurants, novelty stores, to name a few. And in my opinion, the gum wall is as disgusting as it sounds.

I've always wanted to come to this place, and several of the locals weren't too positive about coming here. They said don't go, there's a lot of homeless, it isn't like it used to be. Well, we went anyway and I'm so glad! It was full of vendors with various arts and craft work, bouquets of beautiful flowers, restaurants to eat at, seafood stands and I even saw the one place throwing a fish! I really liked it here. There were a lot of people and that's to be expected. We also took a boat tour with Salish Boat Tours while we were in that area and it was great as well. It was a beautiful day that was relaxing and very enjoyable.

This is an iconic Seattle landmark in the northern part of downtown just off the water and up the hill. For over 115 years a market has operated in this part of Seattle, and it is one of if not the oldest continuous markets in our country. While the market has evolved and more permanent structures have become part of it, it continues to have stalls that are used for farm produce harvested from the land and all types of food harvested from the sea. In addition, there are flowers, arts and crafts and books and trinkets. It is fun to walk through. Some of the highlights are the Seafood Market in the front where fish are thrown, public art both statues and live performing, the infamous Gum Wall, and food you can eat straight from the counter. Over time buildings around market were built for retail like the corner market. These also have several great restaurants like Radiator Whiskey where we ate dinner. This is simply a place you have to visit when you go to Seattle. How much time you spend is up to you. We did visit at several different times as it is also great for pictures and the way it changes during the day.

Walked around the market. Lots of different stalls and shops. Large queues for Starbucks and other famous spots which reduces enthusiasm to further explore. Not far from the cruise terminals. Well worth a visit.

Pikes Market is still buzzing after all these years, although clearly touristy. Still fun to watch fishmongers throwing sizable fish 20 or so feet to colleagues. Market has fresh fish, meat, and vegetables as well as many textile and other items. Another plus is it is opposite Beecher's Creamery, one of the finest cheese emporiums, as well as the original Starbucks.

Pike Place Market is such a great place to spend the day. I haven’t been here in ages. So many more purveyors of seafood, meat, flowers, honey, jewelry and every other thing under the sun! Beautiful flower stalls with every different flower variety. Nice snack shops, food stalls and restaurants too!

Amazing view, great food and so much to discover in this market! Ended up going back there 3 times within a month and I am now missing it! Better with a tour to fully understand the history of this market though!

A classic must do. Take a pic in front of the sign. Watch the fish throwing. Eat. Shop. It can get busy so be prepared. Lots of shops close around 4-5pm so be aware.

The walk through the Market in mid September was interesting, entertaining and enjoyable. We were mainly attracted to the seafood vendors but enjoyed sampling other food options as well. Pikes Place Market has much to offer and you would need a couple of days to see it all. Metered parking for your car is available in several locations nearby for a nominal fee. It’s also an easy walk from a number of downtown Seattle hotels and from the Light Link Rail station. I would recommend taking a small backpack for carrying drinks and other items you might purchase. A small folding umbrella came in handy because it rained during our visit. No trip to the Market would be complete without a quick visit to the infamous Gum Wall! The street vendors also are a must see if they are there.

Very interesting market with lots of stalls selling a variety of items from seafood to souvenirs. There is also the OG Starbucks store which has long queue all the time. The area around the market also has many shops/bakeries/restaurants - you can easily spend 2-3 hours there. Personally enjoyed visiting the market and would highly recommend it!
