Pike Place Market Scandalous History Tour

Overview

Pike Place Market has had a long and scandalous history that includes brothels, coffee shops, Chief Seattle, and mischievous ghosts. Come join me to hear the market's stories, and explore the market.

Pike Place Market is the heart of Seattle. The market is nine acres packed with local farmers, artists, wineries, buskers, specialty businesses and fish being thrown. I have extensive experience being a market tour guide and I am a retired chef. My goal is to get my guests familiar with the market layout, vendors, foods and history.

I’ve been living in Seattle for way over 30 years and thought I knew pretty much all about our Market, but Caroline did surprise me! The tour was great fun and we learned sooo much. Just ask her we’re the stones on the Market side streets came from and why do we actually have the Market. And, hey, we actually met a real king… It’s really worth it to take this tour. Even if you are from Seattle.
