FOLLOW ME AROUND THE PIKE PLACE MARKET

I have been in Seattle for more than a year now and although i still have a lot to explore in this city, i guess its safe to say that i am a local now. Today's post is about one of the Seattle's famous tourist attractions. It's the Pike Place Market, one of the country's oldest farmers' markets.


Pike place market is the home for lot of small business owners, and local farmers who sell fresh fruits(i had the tastiest pear ever, and of course the rainier cherries), flowers, and some amazingly fresh seafood. There is the world famous fish market, where fishmongers sing and toss fishes back and forth(mimicked as flying fish), entertaining the crowd while doing business. Although market's usually crowded with tourists, lots of locals regularly visit the market to buy fresh seafood and fruits or veggies.
