History

Established in 1907.

On the public market's first day, August 17, 1907, crowds of shoppers seeking fresh produce and bargains descended upon the new marketplace. The first farmer sold out of produce within minutes. Within a week, 70 wagons were gathering daily to sell along the newly named Pike Place, a wooden roadway that connected First St. to Western Ave. Today, Pike Place Market remains Seattle's neighborhood marketplace, the center of fresh, locally produced and high-quality foods, goods and handcrafted products.
