Quick Facts

History & Context

Pike Place Market History Pike Place Market is a public market located in Seattle, Washington. It was founded in 1907 as an initiative to provide a direct link between farmers and consumers. The market is one of the oldest continuously operating farmers' markets in the United States, and it is a popular tourist destination as well as a vital part of the Seattle community. The market was created in response to the city's growing population and the need for a centralized location where farmers could sell their produce directly to consumers. At the time, many of the city's residents were immigrants, and they were accustomed to buying their food from street vendors and open-air markets. The idea of creating a permanent market was met with enthusiasm by both farmers and consumers.
