Right at morning we went by Monorail to "Pike Place Market". In the near of harbour, above the "Waterfront", the market represents a quarter, and multi-storey cover some floors with corridors, sections and events. This former farmer- and fish market from 1907 offers a lively impression, with Gourmet stands, flower- and fruit market as well as clothing shops and a flea market. This market is not only the oldest but also the most interesting one of north america.
