Pike Place Market, Seattle

love it love it love it the atmosphere, the fresh seafood, the vendors, the space its definitely a must do there's so much to see at the marketplace it would be an absolute shame not to visit.

it was a good place for fresh seafood. seeing the fishermen throwing a 30lb salmon was fun too. there are craft booths also, with glass blowers and lots of art.

I went to visit my friend and we were going around the city when we stopped in the market. The sounds of sellers, music, and the laughs of people, the smells of fresh flowers, seafood and the ocean, and the great colors you can see just make it fascinating to go. I bought a fress lobster and some hispanic fruits and cooked the bes lobster "asopao" ever. I wish I can live in Seattle, and make my food shop daily in the market! Must see place

If you are coming to Seattle, you must go to Pike Place Market. It's where the city comes alive and you can get the best of what Seattle is all about. Most famous for fish-throwing and and being home to the very first Starbucks coffee (the only Starbucks to still use the original logo), there is much more to see here. Artisans selling their hand-made goods, local produce and flowers being sold at every turn, wonderful "street" performers, great little cafes and restaurants. Bring the camera and come on an empty stomach, there are so many wonderful smells, samples, and foods here that you'll want the option to graze. TIP: Parking is cheapest on Sundays. You can park in the Market garage that provides easy access to both the Market and the Waterfront for only $5. Meters are free on Sundays if you can find one.

Me and my family liked the stores and the crowd. The area was good, along the water front. And most of all, the people where in a good and pleasent mood.

Pike Place Market was so unique. It had so many great shops to go to. I never got tired of walking to the market. I went there everyday for 6 days sometimes several times a day. I loved everything about it.

The longest continuously open market in the US, Pike Place is the home of the classic fish flinging mongers of renowned and the original home of Starbuck's Coffee. This is the one must see place in all of Seattle. You must commit yourself top buying fresh cut flowers at the Market and putting them in your hotel room at least once and be sure to get there early, the fish guys tend to wrap it up around 4 PM or so. Lastly, grab a cup of joe at the original Starbuck's in an original Starbuck's mug with the different Starbuck's logo. That way you can amaze your friends with the weird looking original logo and just grin when they ask what that's all about. The market is much much more than fish, flowers and coffee though and could take several hours to throughly experience. So be liberal with your plans on this one. Have Fun!

Last year when I went to Seattle, I took a trip to Pike's Place Market. You will be surprised by how many things you can do once you really get into the market. It's like an undergruond city. There are undless shops and booths and of course, fresh produce. One of the highlights of Pike's was going to this little tea shop that I went to...there's just alot of fun things to do. But beware...if your kids don't like walking around alot, this may not be for you, but I would still try it.

Visited the market when we returned from a cruise to Alaska. The flowers, seafood, vegetable displays, etc were all very impressive. Wish we lived in Seattle so we could buy some of the fresh fish to take home and cook! They say you can have it shipped to your home, but we did not try that. Also visited Starbucks accross the street and a cheesecake shop that had the best little cheesecakes you will ever eat. Also a pastery shop that bakes many different items in a very tasty flakey dough. What a treat!
