Pike Place Market
Food Market · Seattle, Washington
A nine-acre public market opened in 1907 on a bluff above Elliott Bay, created so that farmers could sell straight to the public and break the commission houses that were fixing produce prices. It is one of the oldest continuously operated public markets in the United States and it still runs on that founding rule: the farm and craft stalls are worked by the people who grew or made the goods. It is also a real neighbourhood rather than a food hall, with low-income housing, a medical clinic, a preschool and a food bank operating inside the same buildings.
