Watching TV news today, surprisingly i found out today was Pike Place Market's 100th B-Day!
Pike Place Market is a must-see spot for all visitors.
It's also my first place to visit in Seattle last sep....after a nightmire of settling down housing stuffs...
At that time, i was really lucky enough to take the pic (rite) while those fishmongers throwing fishes....
This fish store is just noted for this enegetic style!

Kinda hard to explain, i just luv this place so so much!
Everytime i pass by Pike Place Market, i'd like to take pics again and again as long as i hv DC w/ me. 
Probablly it's the traditional american smell that attracts me so so much! 
Or.....i like it just cuz im a traditional-market-addicted person.....:p
i luv walking arond 士林菜市場, 文山菜市場, 台南黃昏市場....anyways..i would always asking mom to goto traditional markets w/ me....:p

And at Pike Place market or other farmers market as well, i can experience the exotic tradition and even make myself more into their lifestyle. 
So, i suggest visiting Pike Place market during weekdays to avoid too many crowds....and then you can take ur time and walk freely. 

If u go there around 5-6pm when they begin to close stores, u might get surprised deal!
Haha...last week, i just bought local Rainier cherries for $1 per pound! (the original price there was $2.99/pound..:p)
Originally, i said 1.5 pounds to the stallman cuz im afraid cherries would be rotten b/4 i eat all of them..
BUT....the stallman said, "oh! come on! it's not a deal!!" well....being 龜毛 n' 不乾脆 never change even im here...:p
So i ended up buying 2 pounds instead...:p

Besides fresh veggies and fruit, my personal fav r dried fruit (just beside the famous fish store), pike place backery (always buy the $1 on sale ones....:p), and visit the first SBUX sometimes:)

Anyways, it's my pleasure to share Pike Place Market's 100th B-day here in Seattle!
Be sure to visit Pike Place and some other farmers markets as well when u travel to Seattle! :)

The following r wat especially excluded to Pike Place Market..
Should be a good choice as souvenirs which would be better than t-shirts...:p
