Pike Place Market Foundation

"What is it? A famous market and a must-see, no matter the length of your trip. Not only is it Seattle's most visited landmark (impressive for a market, right?), but it's also a great place for foodies to indulge in tasty grub. Why go? Sleuth out the rosy entrance to hidden local favorite the Pink Door, which serves up deliciously fresh Italian grub. Other great options for sit-down lunch include Pike Place Chowder—serving some of the best clam chowders this side of Boston—and Lowell’s, where you can tick the Seattle Joe’s Scramble (sausage, spinach and mushrooms) off of your gastronomical bucket-list. Skip over to the other side and you'll discover another one of Pike Places secret foodie havens The Crumpet Shop, though they have been known to seel out by lunchtime. "
