Ask anyone and they'll tell you that you absolutely need to stop and visit Pike Place Market when you visit Seattle.
A cloudy/rainy day didn't deter us from enjoying Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle. One of the city's biggest draws we made sure to stop by the market to visit the fish guys, check out the gross/interesting gum wall and take a break and fill our tummies at the Crab Pot and more...
One thing to remember about Seattle is the parking is expensive. We couldn't really find any free parking and it seemed like it was around $13 a pop to park and we parked two cars several times while we were there. After parking we headed down to Pike Place Market.
The incline is steep and will work your legs out and leave you feeling a bit winded if you are in the same shape as me.
So once you make it down there you have to walk a bit to get to the Pike Place Fish Co. which is in the far left corner. On the way you pass the original Starbucks and that's kind of cool. The line was expectedly long and we've stopped and got a coffee on a trip before ...well I got a hot chocolate but that's besides the point...and so we didn't stop this time. I like to think of it as a reason to have to come back.
On the way you also pass many street performers. We saw this guy, Emery Carl, several years ago so it was kind of cool that he was still there doing his thing.
We finally made it to our destination. Out front there is a pig on top of the building and one in the entrance to the Fish Company. The pig is named, Rachel the Pig.
The pier offers lots of cool stuff to look at.
