Best Introduction to Pike Place Market - The tour is the best way to experience the market. We visited once before without the benefit of a tour and wandered aimlessly without really trying anything or knowing where to go. The market layout and crowds can be overwhelming. Our tour guide Judson was very knowledgeable and gave us the backstory of many of the vendors and the history of the market, while taking us to 8 different stalls where we got to taste very generous portions of a variety of foods. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was money well spent to give us a better overview of the market and try new foods we would not have known to try.
