Romance Expert Tips & Helpful Hints

For a romantic lunch or dinner together, try Café Campagne or Chez Shea. For a more casual setting with delicious food, go to Le Pichet, Mee Sum Pastry, Turkish Delight, or Three Girls Bakery.
During high tourist season, the market gets crowded. For a more relaxed time, go early; merchants set their own hours, but during peak farm season, farmers are often set up by 8 a.m. Shops usually open between 9 and 10 a.m.

Pike Place Market may be touristy, but it's also great fun as well for fascinating shopping and an intimate encounter with the culinary riches of the Pacific Northwest. Peruse the open-air stalls and taste jams, breads, cheeses, berries, and other

Beach Expert Tips & Helpful Hints

You can't visit Seattle without visiting the world-famous Pike Place Market, probably best known for the guys at the fish market who throw fish around in what has become a uniquely slippery if eye-catching art.
The market was founded in 1907. It's not just about the farmers and fishmongers these days. Craftspeople, artists, and street performers all are on hand to add their bit of vitality to the market.
The Market is home to some of Seattle's top restaurants.
