Our hotel was nearby, so we walked downtown to give this place a look. If I were a local, this place would have been great. Tons of flowers, fresh vegetables and seafood however, being a tourist, other than the experience, those things were merely something to look at. There were several shops with varying items for sale. The food around the market was amazing. We sampled many different places just to see what the Market had to offer. We weren't disappointed. The seafood was very fresh and, again, if not a tourist, would have been a wonderful thing to purchase (yes, I know they ship it anywhere). It's worth the time to look around and check out, just to be a part of the scene, but it would be much better for those not flying to/from Seattle. If I ever drive to the area in the future, this place will be on my "to do" list!
