    We've been here a few times throughout the years and I have to say with the expansion Pike place…read moremarket looks cleaner modern. It still has that Seattle waterfront feel, but they're a lot more open seating areas outside to enjoy the scenery, the weather and your food. We love coming here and looking through all the shops, tasting the various food options available, looking at all the beautiful flowers that they're selling. And all the little gift ideas from all the vendors. Our favorite spot is to watch the seafood areas, throw fish around and chant while they do so. It's such a staple to see this in action when you're visiting Pike place market. Don't forget to look for all of the pigs in the market area. There's one that's hiding somewhere and then there's two that sit on the corner right in front of the fish market area. I always suggest going in hungry and just trying different foods from different areas because all the food there are a delicious. This small little area connects you down to the waterfront which has the aquarium. Beware of those stairs as they can get tiresome. But the view from the top of Pike place market down to the water is beautiful. There is not a spot that you cannot capture a beautiful site.

    Everyone needs to visit at least once!!…read more What an amazing place to visit!! Excellent fresh fruit and vegetables, dried fruit, beautiful flowers, and the fish throwing was fun!! Even though it was crowded!! Workers were very nice and helpful and made suggestions for local places to eat! I will say that being from Texas where prices are moderate made the prices look exorbitantly high for some things! I'm not paying $68 for a beanie. Sorry! $8 for half dozen donuts and $15 for large mac and cheese was worth the experience!

    What an amazing space! This is a jewel on the south end of Georgetown and the steampunk rating is…read moreoff the chart. I came here to watch an innovative concert and the acoustics and overall experience made for a feast for the senses. The lighting work made for a truly ethereal moment but the permanent hardware is a sight to behold - tanks and pipes and valves galor. Reading the other reviews, I would love to come check out a tour and understand its history more, but it was a huge privilege being able to take in and enjoy the space for a few hours.

    I don't know how my partner originally learned about this place but he told me he wanted to come…read morefor a free tour and we put it on our to do list. It's open to the public the 2nd Saturday of the month for limited hours and they offer two-one hour tours during this time. The entrance to the parking lot is a little hidden, but follow the signs and drive into the gate, there's quite a bit of space. There's porta potties on site near the parking lot. If you want to go to the 2nd floor you will have to climb some stairs, but those with mobility issues may still enjoy just taking a look from the bottom floor, there was a ramp to one of the entrances of the building. Other floors are closed to the public, but hopefully this will change one day. There is some stuff to look at if you come and just read the indoor signs, but I think the tour really pulls it all together. The person who lead our tour seemed like she put a lot of energy into her presentation and enjoyed volunteering there. I had no idea this place even existed and found the history really interesting and this is not a subject I am overly excited by. Its cool that this historic building has been saved, they are currently working on a plan to develop it further into a STEM center and they appreciate donations towards this cause. I believe it's also part of the Georgetown Haunted tour, which may be a reason to stop by on it's own. I hope to come back in a few years and see how they have developed it and check out the other floors. I'd love to see the historic bathroom.
