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!

Whenever we’re in Seattle, a visit to Pike Place Market is a must. We always stop to take a picture with Rachel the Pig (the market’s mascot), watch the flying fish at Pike Place Fish Market, admire the flowers and of course, eat a lot. In addition to food vendors, there are vendors selling artwork, jewelry, clothing and much more. There’s something for everyone. The market is very busy and crowded, but has a nice atmosphere. It’s a must-see when in Seattle.

There’s a lot in the media trying to scare travelers away from places like Seattle. Please don’t be scared!! My two teen daughters and I had a fun day exploring and there was no reason to feel unsafe. Lots to take in at the market, and things are reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back!

This was my first time back in Pike Place Market in Downtown Seattle after 7 long years. The difference this time around was I traveled solo & the weather was colder (it was sunny!). Came both on Saturday morning (10-11:30AM) and with two of my friends from 4:30PM-5PM. Also, stayed in downtown which was only a good 20-minute walk from my hotel (Hilton Garden Inn). Memories of this place was that this place has a large Farmer's Market of some sort for fruits, flowers, vegetables, etc. Also went to the Gum Wall in Seattle, which ofc to the untrained eye (gross!) but has an unique characteristic of Seattle. Then of course the original Starbucks, which I didn't visit on Saturday due to the crowds but came with my friends on Sunday late afternoon, which was surprisingly less crowded, meaning at most we'd wait 25 minutes. Definitely one of the few iconic places you should visit in Seattle. We will be back next Summer.

What an amazing market for tourists and locals alike. We were there on a Saturday and it was wall to wall people. You literally have to get in a line to file past the fish stalls! Beautiful floral arrangements at unbeatable prices made ahead or to order. Loads of places to eat and drink all on the waterfront. Walkable from most all of downtown tourist attractions and hotels. Worth your time.

So fun! Amazing variety! We spent an entire day exploring this place!! Highly recommend for a few hours. There’s an intriguing spot around every corner. Just keep going for fantastic finds, food and friendly people.

Believe it: this is a place you want to go when visiting Seattle. Lots of good food from all parts of the world, a lot of shops (vinyl records, books, gifts, collectables, art, crafts...). It's also worth going around since there are great restaurants and coffee shops outside the market too.

We went to the market area twice and spent several hours walking around. It's enormous! There are so many places to eat and shop, plus the original Starbucks, which is fun. This is also the jumping off point for boat tours. The market was not busy on a nice Friday morning, but got much more crowded as the day went on.
