Free Flowers Booth
Shoppers will find the Market tent under the Clock & Sign entrance for a complimentary bundle of daffodils. Fill your bouquet out with vibrant colors and visit our flower vendors to find the best new blooms from our farmers. A staple of Pike Place Market, a selection from the bounty of fresh bouquets is the best way to commemorate your first spring Market visit. All flowers are grown within 100 miles of the Market, sourced from multi-generational family-run farms that have been selling at the Market for over 30 years. Four of our farmers will be graciously providing flowers for this celebration:

  • Shong Chao’s Farm
  • Pa Garden
  • Woodinville Valley Farm
  • Neng Garden

Walking Tours: Market to MOHAI
Set up adjacent to the flower giveaway booth will be an opportunity to get maps and information on the walking tour of the urban corridor connecting Pike Place Market to the Museum of History and Industry on Lake Union. Discover tiles along the sidewalks that feature quotes from notable Seattle creatives and icons, alongside visual panels highlighting historic moments of Seattle’s past. Tag along to dig into the city’s rich history while enjoying the fresh air, and complete your tour with a picnic at the lake waterfront!
