A trip to Pike Place Market

At first I thought of how exciting it would be to walk down to Pike's Place Market from Cornish. (I found out later on that my feet would be dying as I walked back to Cornish) Now I've been to Pike's place Market before during previous summers and I thought I knew it all but the assignment proved me wrong.

Towards the market brimming with sound, activity and smell.

Visitors from all around the world.

Seafood on one side, artworks on the other.

Fruits and flowers in between.


From the temptation lane along Beecher's Handmade Cheese,
To the overpowering smell of Market Spice.
The weird and wonderful magic shop, a prankster's haven.

To the disgusting yet somewhat intriguing wall of gum.

I thought it was pure artistic genius.

Why buy paint when you can just decorate it with gum?

The value of Pike's place market?

I asked the opinions of 3 simple people.

A fishmonger, an artist and a flower seller.

To a fishmonger: it's the best money making place.

A vital place to Seattle where everybody comes.

To a cheese tray maker: it's the best place to work in the world!

A place of great value to everyone and Seattle.

To a flower seller: It's pretty cool.

Now I'm not sure about others, but I think that Pike's Place Market is still a gigantic mystery of a place. No matter how many times I visit, there is still something new to be found here! I only saw a small snippet of how wonderful this place is. It is the heart of Seattle to me.

I paired up with Amy for this assignment so the pictures are on her blogpost RIGHT BELOW THIS ONE =D
