Nothing screams “go outside and get your fix of vitamin D for the day!!” like sunny skies and temperatures over 70 degrees (Fahrenheit… gosh, I’m starting to sound American, aren’t I?). A trip to the Pike Place Market was in order! I heard such great things about this place and decided it was time to check it out for myself in person.
In the Market
Fun fact: Seattle is the home of the original Starbucks! The first Starbucks store is actually in the Pike Place Market!
Underground Shops!
I love the fact that this little stretch of downtown Seattle has such an old-school charm about it. Aside from the abundance of street vendors, there was a passageway to an “underground shopping mall” filled with shops that carry vintage goodies! Not so much clothing, but some shops were selling vintage magazines from the 70s, original concert flyers for bands like Nirvana, original silkscreened posters for Death Cab for Cutie (this doesn’t fall into the vintage category, but because dcfc has been the soundtrack to many years of my high school life, this gets an honourable mention), and other little knick-knacks.
Pike Place
I’ve only been here for 2 weeks and I can already say I’m looking forward to the rest of the summer! I can’t wait for the sunnier days to come. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll be able to sneak in a trip to the beach soon.
