Pike Place Market

The public market overlooking the Elliott Bay waterfront is one of the oldest continuously operated public farmers' markets in the United States. The market opened in 1907 on a newly created wooden roadway that connected First Street to Western Avenue. From that humble beginning, it has transformed into a nine-acre Market Historic District bursting with fresh, locally sourced, artisanal and specialty foods, a dizzying array of restaurants and one of the largest craft markets in the country.
