Pike Place Market

Pike Place Market is a vibrant Seattle landmark that offers enough sights and sounds to fill an entire day. Home to over 225 local artisans, farmers, crafters and small businesses, the Market is famous for its lively fish-tossing tradition, music-playing street performers and the original Starbucks store, which has been serving coffee since 1971.

For over a century, Pike Place Market has been a defining icon of Seattle. Covering several city blocks downtown, it remains a bustling hub where locals and tourists alike come to shop, eat and explore.

As one of the oldest and largest continuously operating public markets in the United States, Pike Place Market has been a fixture for over 100 years. The MarketFront expansion, added in 2017, introduced an open-air plaza with fantastic views of Elliott Bay, further enhancing the Market's charm and appeal.
