My middle daughter used to go to school at U-Dub, and then lived in Seattle for a few years. I loved to visit the market when we went to see her or were on our way to Friday Harbor - another FABULOUS place to be.

barking-rabbit, my husband also says I cut him off when we walk places! Maybe we're kin!! Pike's Place is just a wonderful, one of a kind place and well worth a visit,and going alone lets you meander wherever you want. I miss being able to go there. Glad you could enjoy it.

Most of the marketplace construction is finished with great new additional bathrooms and elevators.
It was a nice day. I had a crumpet and jam and a gyro. I brought home mini doughnuts, cookies, bagels, spices, pasta and a grab bag of fabric and a new quilt pattern. The places I usually eat at were very busy, chiwder house and the pirshoky shop. I collected some pressed pennies for a little friend too. As always on the way home, I tell myself, "I should do this more often". There was construction at the waterfront, so driving was a little different but there were no problems or scary moments.

The name is undercover quilts. They do online too. If you are standing with the flying fish to your right, take a left then quick right then down stairs. Rocky mountain chocolate factory is in the same hallway.
