This public market sits in the heart of downtown Seattle, providing the city with a lot more than just fresh produce.

The 9-acre historic district consists of several different market areas, including the following:

- Highstalls
- Fish Markets
- Specialty Foods
- Collectables
- Dining
- Buskers
Explore each different market area, the entire conglomerate sure to satisfy all your shopping needs providing everything from locally processed meats and cheeses to kitchenware and body care products. Your group should definitely stop for a bite to eat while here, with several popular onsite eateries such as Alibi Room, the Can Can Culinary Cafe, or the historic Virginia Inn.
There are also public tours of the market, featuring classes (art, food, cooking), merchant information, and fun facts about the market overall.
