Seattle’s Neighborhood Market
Created more than a century ago to connect the city’s citizens and farmers, Pike Place Market is a beloved Seattle landmark, welcoming more than 10 million visitors a year. Encompassing a nine-acre Market Historic District overlooking Elliott Bay, the Market remains the bustling center of farm fresh, locally sourced, artisanal and specialty foods. It’s a place where you can “Meet the Producer”—the farmers, butchers, fishmongers, cheesemongers, bakers, winemakers and purveyors who bring their bounty to your table. The Market features one of the largest craft markets in the country, featuring all locally made handcrafted goods. And with more than 225 small independent businesses and a diverse array of restaurants, the Market offers endless opportunities for delight and discovery.

Cap-Hill-mural
I explored Capitol Hill’s Broadway strip, which forms the commercial heart of the district. Pine & Pike streets where the street that I had to climb in order to get to Broadway. Large portions of E. Pike Street, E. Pine Street, Broadway, 15th Avenue, and E. Olive Way are lined almost continuously with street front businesses. Like 100 Starbucks and other cafes, mom and pop restaurants & bars, arts and novelty shops, small college campuses and other useful commercial stores & businesses.
