Charter Bus to Pike Place Market

Pike Place Market sprawls nine acres over the bluff — the fishmongers' flying salmon show under the neon clock is the famous bit, but the market's real fabric is the produce rows, flower stalls ($15 bouquets), crafts arcade and the post alley shops. The 1912 'original' Starbucks (technically moved once) queues down the block; the gum wall sits in Post Alley below.

85 Pike St, Seattle, WA 98101 The classic market wander — fish-throwing, first Starbucks and gum wall.

Know before you go

Watch fish fly at Pike Place Fish — the crew hurls salmon over the counter on every order.
Post Alley holds the gum wall and the tiny shops most visitors miss.
The market's lower levels hide used-book stores, magic shops and a comic dungeon.

Coach drop on 1st Ave or Western Ave — the market frontage on Pike is pedestrian-congested.
Fish-throwing happens when someone buys — watch Pike Place Fish near the main entrance.
Morning is the move: produce stands open 9am, crowds hit by 11.
