• The Wall Street Journal

  The seafood's really good, there's a lot of local artists, a lot of beautiful jewelry. The most encompassing Seattle way to spend an afternoon.
• HISTORY

  Pike Place Market is home to the first Starbucks, Rachel the Pig, numerous street performers and entertainers, and the Pike Place Fish Market, which features the fish-throwing fishmongers.
• USA TODAY

  Meet Rachel, a 700-pound swine statue that sits among the crowds in this market. Rest assured, any coins you donate to the piggy bank go to local non-profits.
• ToryBurch

  Locals and tourists alike are drawn to the market for its catches-of-the-day, fresh produce, minstrel-like musicians and to take pictures of the iconic sign.

  Don't go during tourist season and don't forget the other two floors underneath the main one. :)

  Vendors need to learn that the value of a dollar today, is much more than a dollar in the future.
• Jason

  Don't forget to check out the gum wall!
• Mike Shubic
