Travel Attraction - Seattle's Pike Place Market

If you like markets then you will love Pike Place Market in Seattle, Washington! This place is truely a seafood lovers dream, with locally caught seafood as far as the eye can see. One of the biggest seafood attractions there are the fish throwers. These people have the world record for the most fish thrown and caught in an hour, and there is always a huge crowd there watching them. When someone places an order, one of the throwers will yell the order out and another one will get the proper fish and throw it over to one of the others who will then catch it and prepare it for the customer. It is truely a great site to behold.

Not a seafood fan? Well they have much, much more there! Fruits, veggies, jams, jellies, and all varieties of produce and crafts. There is also plenty of things that will entertain the kids, and many places to grab a delicious bite to eat. The best part is that whoever produces, farms or catches the products must be there to sell them so you are supporting small, local businesses.


How to get there? Ask any resident, taxi driver or bus driver and they will be able to tell you! It is south of the cruise ship piers on the Seattle waterfront and impossible to miss when you get there.
