Christmas Shopping at Pike Place Market in Seattle

Pike Place Market
1531 Western Avenue
Seattle, WA, 98101

I can’t think of anywhere more fun to Christmas shop in Seattle than Pike’s Place Market, right off the waterfront in the heart of downtown. People might just think of Pike’s Place as a tourist pit stop, but the truth is that local Seattle residents flock there year round. And around the holidays, they are down there more than ever to take in the crisp winter air, and to buy that perfect local gift to send to friends and family.

If you don’t know what already, Pike’s Place is Seattle’s infamous outdoor market. It is considered to be the most successful farmer’s market in the country, and you can find just about everything here: produce, seafood, flowers, gifts, and amazing restaurants. The Market has a street level, as well as three underground levels, all filled with independent stores - some of which are truly unique and half hidden.
