It’s so much nicer now too! It was crazy to have a road that was so old it’s made out of bricks and its entirety is being used as a crosswalk was open to cars at all. They also still let individual cars pull up to pick up passengers at night.

After spending a week in Amsterdam with a day trip to Antwerp, fuck cars. Trains/Trams rock. Bikes rock. Walking rocks.

Sales at retail stores within the Market rose 9.2%, with restaurants seeing a 10.2% boost between May and September, the busiest season at Seattle’s most popular public market. The number of visitors who live within 30 miles of the Market increased by 5.6% from one year to the next, a figure that translates to an additional 127,000 Puget Sound residents dropping by Pike Place at some point in 2025.

Nice

way past time to expand car-free use of public streets, such as the Saturday University District Farmers Market, to as many neighborhoods, activities & events throughout Seattle as possible

What a name

What? If people can just walk in you get more walk-ins? No way!

Its a tourist trap. I’ve been there 10 and 5 years ago. If I hold my ground I won’t have to go ever again.

Imagine any other market but prices range from exorbitant to ridonkulous. But the good thing is you can see the Ferris wheel and the needle so you feel like your in one of those one TV series that was famous and one of those one movie that was famous. But then you remember you’re not because you just spent more than a car fillup feeding your family. And or it started raining.

I’m not saying don’t go. My neighbor’s house is up for sale at 1.2million. I wonder who is going to buy that to live next to me. But I’m not saying don’t buy/sell. It could be bought by a bank and turned into a mini hotel. C’mon let’s see if someone wants my taxes to be $12,000 this year! Yey! Its just $12,000 its like two car payments. But I’m not saying don’t move here.
