Yup.

There are also some little deli type eateries, a salon, and an art gallery, though I haven't taken advantage of any of them yet. All in all, this is a pretty spiffy way to get from 7th and Union to 4th and University without having to set foot outside - always a plus when it comes to dealing with Seattle's variable weather.

Built on the edge of a steep hill overlooking Elliott Bay and Puget Sound, Pike Public Market is known as the "soul of the city." Here locals have shopped since 1907 for fresh produce from hundreds of farmers, artisans, and specialty vendors, and it is proud to promote the fact that almost half of its businesses are female-owned. Since our hotel was within walking distance, my partner, his family, our friends, and I visited this most popular tourist attraction with more than 20 million annual visitors several times. It can get a bit overwhelming, especially with the large crowds and the maze of shops. It is definitely worth a look.

Seafood vendors galore all who are selling some of the freshest and largest pieces of seafood I've seen, floral vendors galore all who are selling the most beautifully full and beautifully arranged flower bouquets and food galore from vendors of all kind offering ethnic delights, local seafood and local favorites. The views of the market itself from the street and the views of the water from inside the market are breathtaking as well. Oh and we stumbled upon the "gum wall" ... even though I took a pic of it it's absolutely GROSS lol. Only reason it's not 5 stars is because it's wildly confusing to navigate and the maps don't help at all lol. So glad we got to experience the market!

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.

Chef Traci kicked off our morning class with freshly baked pastries as we discussed what we might want to cook that day. Then we headed into Pike Place Market, stopping at multiple businesses to meet the owners and try their delicious products. I've been to Pike Place many times, and there were a handful of shops I was experiencing for the first time. It really felt like we got VIP treatment because of the friendships Traci has built over the years. We picked out a beautiful King salmon and halibut cheeks at Pike Place Fish Market, and I even got to throw and catch a fish! Traci was knowledgeable and shared Pike Place Market's complex history along the way. Once we returned to Atrium Kitchen with our ingredients, we created two beautiful mains with the salmon and halibut, plus a couple of sides with the seasonal market vegetables we had picked up. Then it was time to dig in and enjoy our feast while chatting with Chef Traci and the other guests. There is something very special about being in Pike Place Market early in the morning before the throngs of tourists arrive. I highly recommend the morning tour and cooking class. It felt like a perfect way to experience Seattle's most famous attraction.
