Pike Place Market
Pike St, Seattle, WA
The Pike Place Market has been a defining Seattle icon for more than a century. Considered by many “the soul of Seattle,” the Market spans nine historic acres in the center of downtown where everyday locals and tourists alike shop, visit, eat and discover. Founded in 1907, the Market is one of the oldest and largest continuously operating public markets in the United States and is brought to life by the hundreds of farmers, crafters, small businesses, and residents that call it “home”. Attendees will receive a private behind the scenes tour with the Marketmaster and learn about how the market works with farmers, opportunities to sell, and an extensive list of other services the market provides.
