Saturday Morning Market History Tours
Saturdays from 8:30am – 10am
The Friends of the Market is bringing back their Saturday morning Pike Place Market tours! These tours are led by Friends of the Market board members and volunteers.
They’ll take you on well-worn paths through the Market’s main shopping areas and back passageways as you learn about history, unique artwork, and the hidden features of the nation’s oldest continuously operating farmers market.
The Friends of the Market played a vital role in saving Pike Place Market from demolition in 1971. Learn more about their history!
