July 21st, 2007… In summer of 2007, Pike Place Market is celebrating 100 years since it was opened in August 1907. One of the things the organiser has done is to “place” pig icons, 100 of them, I think, all over the downtown Seattle including in shopping centres. Click Pike Place Market below the picture to see some of the pig icons.
It is a place for small businesses with stalls selling fishes around the region (including salmon), home made crafts and other items like dungeness crabs, flowers, fruits of the season, honey, etc.
If you are in Seattle, Pike Place Market is within walking distance in the tourist area of downtown Seattle, a place worth paying a visit and have a seafood buffet lunch in the variety of restaurants and coffee outlets. Short boat rides are also available along the Elliott Bay waterfront.
