July 2003: I have been to Pike Place Market twice (again in July 2005), but this was my first trip to Seattle to visit my friend, Vicki.
And a definite highlight was seeing the "flying fish" at Pike Place!
Pike Place Market is located on Elliott Bay and is, as 1000 Places states, "a Seattle institution since 1907, making it the oldest continuously operating farmer's market in the United States." There are hundreds of vendors covering approximately seven blocks.
Verdict: So here's the thing... is it something you HAVE to do before you die? No. But is it something you HAVE to do if you find yourself in the Seattle area? Yes!
