Lucky you to be so close to the market. I think I would go every day. I can smell, taste, hear, feel, and see all of the greatness!
Thank you for the tour.

Lucky duck! I'm going to try to get to the Farmer's Market either this weekend or next - but I don't know that it's as exciting as your market.

I went to Pikes Market once on my way to Mt. Rainier. Oh my gosh, how we loaded up for the road trip (camping actually). It is truly a trip for all the senses to awaken and enjoy!
Great post!

I miss the market more than anything else in Seattle. My son went to preschool there, so we were a part of the market community for years. It was so so great. I can't wait to come see and feel it all this summer.

Thanks for the gorgeous photos that bring me right back!

oh, I just loved this! The last time I was at Pike Place Market, my dog was with me, so I couldn't take photos. I want to visit again someday with my camera.
