Today the goal is the second most iconic location in Seattle, the Pike Place Market.
This walk starts on Pike This walk starts on Pike and First Avenue, but we parked on Alaskan Way and walked to the Pike Place Hill Climb (the end of the walk) so that we could lunch at El Puerco Lloron. Yum; the best Mexican food in Seattle. With full stomachs, we headed up the Climb to pay homage to the Pig:
Though well attended, the market was, happily, not too crowded. This really is great fun. We stopped in at Sur La Table, shopped for vegetables, bought cheese at Beecher's, and watched the fishmongers toss salmon. We hit all the usual favorites, but having just eaten, we avoided both the Chocolate Shop and Le Panier.
The flower stalls were unusually pretty today.
We also walked around Victor Steinbrueck Park and enjoyed the views of the Sound and West Seattle. We completed a fairly leisurely tour of ther market, then proceeded immediately to another walk ...
