Pike Place
Market
Seattle, Like many port towns, supports a large fishing fleet,
and has always had a significant fish market. It also supports
the fishing fleets of much of Alaska, and has a considerable
salmon fishery. In addition to all of this, the rain, and
volcanic soil of the surrounding areas support a very successful
agricultural effort. This, along with the large port, and
significant commerce with Alaska, mean that quite a bit of food
passes through Seattle. Though most is sold commercially, much
of it passes through the Pike Place Market, a sort of a
combination farmers market, and fish market. Still, with all of
the crowds which the place attracts, there is more being sold
here, these days, than food. Though the market itself was always
main stream, the surrounding neighborhood had become a bit
seedy. At the present time, the area here is being gentrified,
and much of the old strip bar, and red light district business
is gone. |
