Pike Place Market
During my first trip to Seattle, I already went to Pike Place Market a few times. During my second week in the city, I went there almost daily -- to get coffee, to get lunch, or just to walk around.

Surely, one had to visit the original Starbuck store. Most tourists make a stop there. It's really rather silly, but I admit I went in there once.
The street performers are also cashing in on this patronage.
Some other musicians prefer quieter corners.
Many shops have rather interesting signs.
The pig sign is probably the most famous.
Free seafood, produce and seafood abound in the market.
It's a bustling, yet charming, place.
My favorite place to get a coffee is actually not Starbuck but Seattle Coffee Works.
