Why Go

Opened in 1907, Pike Place is one of the oldest continuously operating public markets in the US: several levels of farm stalls, craftspeople and small shops under the famous neon 'Public Market' sign. Watch the fish fly at Pike Place Fish Market, and see the first Starbucks across the street.

Tips

  • Arrive before 10 a.m. to beat the crowds.
  • The lower levels have quirky shops most visitors miss.
