Pike Place Fish Market
You may catch a show of what these fishmongers do best: lobbing huge fish back and forth over the counter and providing the freshest, tastiest local fish of the Pacific Northwest!
You’ll have the chance to make your own contribution to this 50-foot-long wall covered in chewing gum, one of Seattle’s most unusual – and to some, disturbing – attractions.
Starbucks
We’ll pass by the oldest operating Starbucks, still emblazoned with the original logo and with a line out the door!
Beecher's Handmade Cheese
We may get to glimpse a bit of the cheese-making process as cheesemongers are busy at work monitoring the massive vats that can be viewed from outside.
Three Girls Bakery
One of the oldest businesses in the market, you might want to come back after the end of the tour to purchase some delicious baked goods like macaroons, rugelach, and more.
Mee Sum Pastry
We’ll pass by this small vendor that is known for its filling hombow and pastries.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
