DON'T expect too much. It's a cool market with a lot of fresh fish, flowers and home produce. Great selection of home made leather products too. Throwing of the fish also happens there - uhhh, really really really don't expect more than one guy throwing a fish to another guy and a bit of shouting.

What a great place! Love the stores all around Pike Place. We got there around 10-10:30 and some stands were still setting up but we enjoyed every moment at Pike Place. There are tons to see and do. Great place to buy souvenirs, baked goods, coffee, seafood and much more!

You can't visit Seattle without visiting the Pike Place Market, nor can you afford to miss it. It is a very cool spot, that has a ton to look at for any and everyone. I don't think the market is as spectacular as most people think (the items for sale, and the shops themselves, are nothing special) but it is... More

Then we would check out the fish displays and see them throw the huge salmon, look at the colorful veggies, and sampled the best peach I have ever tasted in my life ... the... More

I love markets and this one was definitely worth the visit. We had seen the fish stall where they toss the fish to each other on a food network show on t-v. Fun! Great selection of everything, makes me wish I lived there.

I visited Pike Place Market both days I was in Seattle and had great experiences. There is A LOT to see here so take your time, or come back. The market of course boasts food and related shops, but there are lots of local arts/crafts and other shops as well. Dining options range from quick street food delicacies to sit-down,... More

I loved the market! There are amazing things there like beautiful flowers and cool local foods. You find really good deals around every corner. The big problem is the panhandling. Your walk to and from the market, you run into 3-5 panhandlers per block. Its the worst I have ever seen and I lived in Houston post Katrina. It ruins... More

This is a huge market selling hundreds and hundreds of curios and all things different, flowers, fish, food, there are sub levels also. I have never seen so many people in one-place, the atmosphere is wonderful. We went on a Sunday which may have been busier as you have locals and tourists together, it may have been better on a...
