There is so much to experience here that it&#8217;s understandable why it&#8217;s called &#8220;The Soul of Seattle&#8221;. When I arrived in the city, this world famous market was naturally my first stop. It was a Sunday morning, so the the place was packed. And luckily for us, the sky was clear. Seattle blessed us with the best weather possible (When you talk about Seattle, you have to talk to about the weather!).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2960 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-2.jpg\" alt=\"Pike Place Market: The Soul of Seattle\" width=\"1037\" height=\"1383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-2.jpg 1037w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-2-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-2-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1037px) 100vw, 1037px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Pike Place Flowers<\/h4>\n<p>I had heard so much about the fresh flowers here, that I decided to wander the flower stalls first. It was Dahlia and Sunflower season and the market was filled with them. These are my favorite flowers so it was all the more special for me. I don&#8217;t buy these flowers too often because they can be expensive and they don&#8217;t last long, at least for me. I was quite surprised to see how inexpensive they were here. They were all being sold for $1 per stem and the big ones for $3 per stem! You could buy a huge bouquet of flowers for just $10!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2961 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-3.png\" alt=\"Pike Place Market: The Soul of Seattle\" width=\"945\" height=\"756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-3.png 945w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-3-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-3-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-3-150x120.png 150w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-3-600x480.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If I was living in Seattle, I would buy fresh flowers everyday!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2962 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-5.jpg\" alt=\"Pike Place Market: The Soul of Seattle\" width=\"1383\" height=\"1037\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-5.jpg 1383w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-5-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-5-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-5-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-5-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-5-1080x810.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1383px) 100vw, 1383px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2963 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-6.png\" alt=\"Pike Place Market: The Soul of Seattle\" width=\"945\" height=\"756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-6.png 945w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-6-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-6-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-6-150x120.png 150w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-6-600x480.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>The Oldest Starbucks<\/h4>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not already aware, Seattle is home to the first ever Starbucks! The oldest store is in Pike Place Market, operating since 1977. If you&#8217;re a big Starbucks fan, you won&#8217;t mind waiting in the long queue for a cup of coffee, or a souvenir.

You will see a lot of people just standing there to watch the antics of the guys at Pike Place Fish. This has actually become a major attraction for the locals and the tourists alike. The guys working at the fish market are really hilarious. They are constantly cracking jokes with customers, and sometimes they even try to scare a passerby or two with dead fish. I couldn&#8217;t take a video of them tossing the fish because it was too crowded.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2965 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-7.jpg\" alt=\"Pike Place Market: The Soul of Seattle\" width=\"1037\" height=\"1383\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-7.jpg 1037w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-7-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-7-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-7-600x800.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1037px) 100vw, 1037px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2966 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-8.png\" alt=\"Pike Place Market: The Soul of Seattle\" width=\"945\" height=\"756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-8.png 945w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-8-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-8-768x614.png 768w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-8-150x120.png 150w, https:\/\/www.girlinchief.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/pike-place-market-seattle-girlinchief-8-600x480.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Food and Dining<\/h4>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s a farmers market, so how can we not talk about food.

It&#8217;s just a brick wall covered in used chewing gum, in an alleyway near Pike Place. It is a Seattle landmark, even a tourist spot. There&#8217;s even a story about how this gum wall came into being. Back in time, the patrons were not allowed to chew gum inside the Market Theater; so before entering, they would remove the gum from their mouth and just stick it on the wall beside the box-office. That&#8217;s how the Gum Wall was born! Every couple of months the Gum Wall gets a good scrubbing, but it always manages to make a comeback. Some people find this disgusting while some think it is a colorful &#8216;work of art&#8217;.
