The Infamous Pike Place Market

Some Favorites to Visit at This Historical Venue

Located in Seattle, Pike Place Market is a must see. Even though there are hundreds of stores and vendors to see, here is but a sampling of enjoyable ones to visit.

 5-stars for entertainment value. I had heard about the stories regarding 'flying fish' here. I had to go check it out. First time I was there, a HUGE monk fish was on ice and facing the customers with its mouth open. Of course, customers started to crowd around, whispering amongst themselves. An employee was behind the counter, waited for the most opportune time, and pulled back on the fish causing it to move. "AAAHHH!!!" screamed the women. That was my first experience here and all the more reason to return to this Seattle Pike Place Market favorite. I go back every time I can and just stand there for awhile. Pure entertainment at its finest.

I  buy fish here only to support the business since it is an icon here and is locally owned. Plus, it is such fresh fish that is displayed in a very appealing manner. They also ship.

The most incredibly beautiful flower arrangements I have seen. Located on the corner of the Pike Place Market area, the fresh HUGE bouquets are hard to miss!!! It is so nice to take the time and browse what they have here at this favorite Seattle flower shop.  The bouquets are breathtaking and always bring a smile to my face. Plus, they are locally grown..from what I understand. Prices are reasonable for what you receive.
