Seattle provides us with many great niche markets, neighborhoods, stores, parks, and restaurants; but sometimes a trip to our most well known attractions is well worth the visit. Pike Place Market is an excellent example of a location hidden in plain sight. We see and hear about it so much that we sometimes "forget" that it's there. Recently we've made a goal of getting to know our city better, becoming tourists in our hometown. The Market has become a favorite starting point for this. The market has all of our favorite fruits and veggies...
And our favorite donuts...
Some awesome tchotchkes...
Giant candy bars.... (yes that's a pound of York Peppermint Patties!)
A magic shop...
And a brass pig!
And what visit would be complete without a trip to the notorious Gum Wall.
With more than a days worth of sights, sounds and smells, The Market has proven time and again to be a great day trip.
