This is a follow-up to the blog post, An Evening In Seattle & Pike Place Market. In the blog post, I talked about my weekly shopping trip to the market many years ago. I wanted to be able to get what I needed and leave within an hour including finding a place to park my car. Other times I would linger for awhile and enjoy an early morning latte with a fresh baked almond croissant.
On a recent Saturday, I asked Bill if he would like to accompany me early in the morning to Seattle for coffee at Pike Place Market and stroll through the streets before heading home {and before the kids start to wonder what’s for breakfast}. Bill thought that will be a nice morning excursion and came with me. We had a great time that morning. The only minor set back for Bill was when I decided to do a little shopping, he was a trooper about it.

Come with us on our walk and use the map above to guide you.
Pike Place Market is a busy place, especially during the summer months. People come from all over the world or from just down the street to experience the market, shop or see all that it has to offer. Not having a plan or not familiar with the area, the trip can be overwhelming and stressful. I hope the information in this blog post will be helpful for you if and when you decide to visit the market. .
Pike Place Market, parking garage skybridge
The best time to go to Pike Place Market is in the morning before the crowd and traffic. Once there, The Market Parking Garage {blue star ★ on the map} on Western Ave. is a great place to park for a few reasons. The parking garage has an elevator to take you up to the skybridge that will connect you directly to the market. .

view of Mount Rainier from skybridge
The view from the skybridge of the the waterfront and the surrounding area is incredible. I used the “zoom” feature on the camera to get this picture of Mount Rainier and the Seattle Seahawks football stadium {Century Link Field}. .
