I think on the weekend it was used for pop up's assuming it will continue that way. When there isn't a pop up going it's a place to grab an espresso beverage, wine or sake. Community curated goods, some by local artists. Love the touch of fresh flowers in the building. Has the feel of a neighborhood shop. Will definitely be back, for coffee or an after work glass of wine with a friend. Oh and they carry Sankaku oinigiri and side dishes! Love Sankaku's onigiri have had them at the pop in Melrose couple years ago. It's nice to have a place close to work that I can grab and go a quick lunch.

I found this little gem of a gift shop quite by accident but am certain to purchase from there…read moreagain in the future. This is the first review I have ever posted to yelp--that is how happy I am with the service provided by the staff of this establishment. Searching for the elusive "Jewish Wisdom Ball" as a humorous gift for my 92 year-old father (who fortunately needs nothing), it was out of stock everywhere, until it showed up on the gift shop website, on sale no less. I placed my order and crossed my fingers. Within 48 hours I received a cheery message wishing me a "Happy Hanukkah", confirming shipping and actually apologizing for not having mailed it faster in the midst of the busy holiday season! I have since had occasion to contact them again and they are always prompt, professional and courteous. The gift shop is in Seattle while I live in Illinois, yet they treat me as though I am an old friend or longtime congregation member who has been walking through their doors often over the years. Based on this positive experience I intend to continue to support them with future purchases where appropriate. They are the sort of people we need more of in the world today and I can't thank them enough for the manner in which they do their jobs.

Besides, strolling around the market was awesome experience to me including spotting the fishmongers with the fish-throwing 'show'! You gotta see the Gum Wall, the nearby Waterfront view, and the downtown itself. My fave spots within the market would be Beechers, Mee Sum, Hellenika, Pike Place Chowder, and Piroshky. I totally knew they're all very famous, but def worth all the hype!!

We wandered through several little boutiques and artisan stalls -- each one had something different, from handmade goods to quirky touristy finds that you can't help but pick up. Of course, we had to stop by the famous fish‑throwing spot. It's touristy in the best way possible -- loud, fun, and full of personality. Watching them toss fish across the counter never gets old and definitely adds to the whole Pike Place experience. We also got to do Zoltar, which was such a nostalgic moment, and then wandered into a tarot store right after. The whole area is full of surprises like that -- one minute you're watching flying fish, the next you're getting a fortune card and browsing crystals. Be prepared for lots of walking, though. The market twists, turns, and goes up and down levels, but that's part of the charm. Every corner has something new to see. Overall, Pike Place Market is lively, iconic, and full of character. A perfect mix of food, shops, entertainment, and classic Seattle vibes. Absolutely worth the visit!

I kind of thought you could buy most essentials at the airport, but it turns out children's shoes are not a typical travel need, at least when they aren't being worn by traveling children. Fireworks did carry children's slippers, which caught my eye as I passed, as well as a nice assortment of unique, crafty toys and gifts. Unfortunately, my five-year-old followed me into the store and zeroed in on a tiny, colorful finger puppet in the shape of a parrot. He asked me to buy it for him, and I declined, telling him we weren't getting a souvenir before we even left the airport. He was upset by this to the point of tears, but I managed to get us out of there. We had a wonderful time in Seattle, and to his credit, the five-year-old behaved well the whole trip (and the two-year-old got new shoes). When I saw Fireworks Gallery again by our departure gate, I decided at the last possible second to stop in and get him the parrot. It was one of several Folkmanis finger puppets in a wire basket. I picked it up along with a bunny rabbit and went to check out. There was a short line at the register--I guess this shop gets decent traffic--and by the time I was up, my husband was calling to tell me we were boarding. This is how I paid $36.36 for two finger puppets that cost $10 apiece online. Fireworks got me good, but my boys do love their little puppets, which are soft and cute and well made. The wares here are definitely nicer and less generic than at your average airport store. It might cost you, though, if you wander in there with your kids.

We most recently visited so my kiddo could check out the Dino exhibit. Online/on the website they had mentioned fossil digs so my kid was really looking forward to that. When we went through all 4 levels of the museum though, there was no fossil dig to be found. After asking staff , they mentioned it's only once or twice a year. A bit of a bummer since that's the main thing my kid wanted to do! Just 1 star off for that. The husky scavenger hunt kind of made up for it! If you're coming with a kid they'll offer the scavenger hunt & I'd highly recommend it to make the visit more interesting for the little ones! All in all I definitely recommend checking out the Burke Museum & also stop by Off the Rez (connected cafe) while you visit!
