July 2009. Whenever we visit Seattle we usually will take a stroll through the Pike Place Market - to visit : several great tea shops, Piroshki Piroshki, Chukkars Cherries, Bleekers Cheese house and view all of the fruits, produce and fish stands in the Market. Also within the market are interesting places such as the GUM wall. Yes, it's touristy,... more

We live near enough to Seattle that we're able to go to the market several times a year. We love the flowers, produce, and watching the fish vendors. There's a great creperie and lots of yummy things to snack on. Definitely explore the shops in the alley across the street from the market. The only negative thing, for me, is... more

Pike Place Market was wonderful! We spent 2 days wandering the market, and could have gone back for more. There are more than enough wonderful restaurants, shops, and attractions to explore for all ages. Bring your appetite and your camera, and have fun! more

Pike market is a wonderful place to visit. I love the beautiful flowers there. Every color you can think of. Vibrant & fresh! The seafood is a bit pricey, but you pay for what you get. The halibut cheeks are fresh & the scallops are giant. Some places are more expensive than others, so check around for price & quality... more

If you can only go one place when you visit Seattle it should be the PP Market. The smells, the crisp air, Puget Sound just below...this is it. Wonderful local cheese, honey, handmade items and MarketSpice Tea shop are all here. Pho, Greek, breads, and fish, fish, fish....all here. Allow 2 hours and then have lunch or dinner. You will... more

If you've been to a big public market before, I'm not sure Pike Place Market offers anything new or exciting. There are tons of produce stands, along with fresh fish, flowers, souvenir shops, handicraft stands, and prepared foods. It's a good place to buy pre-made food to take out to the waterfront and eat outside or to buy foods for... more

Loved everything about the Market. Bought some Salmon Jerky at the throwing fish market. If you haven't tried their jerky...you don't know what you're missing. We were fighting over the last piece! Flowers are beautiful and wonderful to photograph! more

I had heard and read about Pike Place Market several years ago and was the one thing that I was looking forward to experiencing. The atmosphere was great. Check out the fish stall behind Rachel the Pig. This is the best stall to experience the 'Flying Fish'. The guys are real fun and are very friendly. You can even have... more

Our first visit was after 6:00pm when the market is closed. It wasn't very crowded except for those of us walking around to see the market place and taking pictures near sunset. Visited the next morning when it was completely crowded. It was difficult to get through the masses inside the market. The flowers cover one side of the market... more
