Seattle Pike Place Market
Posted October 27, 2006 by Ed Szajniak · Filed Under Adventures
It all started because of over-priced onions.
The Pike Place Market was started over a hundred years ago to eliminate middlemen who were over-charging for produce and allow the public to deal directly with the farmer.
Today the market covers nine acres and has 200 commercial businesses…
… crafts people, street performers and lets not forget 120 farmers who rent stalls to sell there produce.
The market attracts 10 million visitors anually so it’s a great place to shop grab a bite or just peopl
e watch.
