Pike Place Market

It never fails, when ever I am in Seattle I make it a point to stop at Pike Place Market. If you're in the city, you won't want to skip out on a trip to here. Seattle is full of such diversity and culture and Pike Place Market encompasses of it in just one stop. Here you can find an array of delicacies. Such as, handmade turkish delite, piroshky, vietnamese buns, a french bakery, and oh so much more.

I wish I could live in the city just so that I could stop by the market and pick up a bouquet of flowers, some fresh produce and just baked bread for our home. Last month, Sean and I were able to visit the market and the florist had to most beautiful autumnal bouquets you could imagine. They featured deep purples, oranges, seasonal greens and warm yellows. I quickly snatched up one of the $5 bouquets which are just as beautiful as the more expensive ones. 

The weather was absolutely gorgeous that day and it made standing in long line for the original Starbucks much more pleasant than if it had been raining. The original Starbucks is like any other apart from the original wooden plank floors and being a bit more pricey than other locations. However, it's really cool to see where it all started.

And you can bet we stopped by Post Alley to see the Gum Wall! It is both one of the most disgusting and intriguing things to see. When ever we're in Seattle we like to head down and see it. Apparently it started with the theatre on Post Alley. Because you're not allowed to chew gum in the theatre, patrons would stick their gum on the wall just before entering. Now people head down there just to put gum on the wall.

Even though I've just visited Pike Place, my only wish is to return again and buy up all the mini donuts, macaroons and Beecher's macaroni and cheese my heart can possible handle. xoxo

Love Always,
