I am going to Seattle in October and one of the first places I intend to go to is Pike Place Market. Thank you Friends of The Market for saving the Market so I can experience it for myself

A little Seattle trivia for you. The Street at Pike Place that is made from brick is the only part of the street that survived the horrible fire that basically destroyed the entire city over 100 years ago.

I migrated to Alaska from Seattle. In the 90's. Best places are North of Seattle. Ballard & San Juan Islands.

Thank God for Victor Steinbrueck and the rest of the friends of the Market. It's sad, though, that the civic pride that saved the PPM hasn't been maintained for the rest of Seattle's downtown.

Lived there for bit when I was young, was a complete community, doctor office, hostel also and everything a human could need. Sad to see what has happened to Seattle with opiates

Seattle used to be my happy place. Now I won't go there, and it makes me sad.

I used to love going down there. It now smells like piss, needles everywhere, mental illness and homelessness, addiction all around. It's not safe to take your family down there anymore.

I live in Seattle, most people here don’t go Downtown unless you have to. Used to be pretty decent. Only tourists who don’t know better head there now.

I think once they hire all of the new officers, and the Mayor is cleaning up the homeless camps, it will slowly get better.

I visit it frequently, live downtown and it is busy with local visitors and tourists. The waterfront is being expanded to accommodate more pedestrians after the via duct was torn down. There is a new mid-century style ferry terminal and a really awesome new aquarium being built that has stairs and a walk way that leads from the market to Alaska way. It’s so curious the commentators who seem to think they know how terrible it is without apparently visiting it.

Never forget the Dino Rossis’ who would have been amongst those to tear it down and fully privatize the water front, turning the area into a homogeneous business park bookended by 40 story high rises.

I never got the hype, sorry.

That’s honest and fine. It took me a minute too but, having frequently visited it, I get it. So much of what people know is a sterile cookie cutter development for harvesting the dwindling wages and benefits of the working class purchasing at the company store.

Oh good, so what you are saying is that you agree to help vote out these extreme liberal "leaders" Seattle who is letting crime run rampant and ruin down town and get some real leaders in office?

If they do away with the Market there would be no reason to come to Seattle. I remember when this was happening. Then as today the Seattle City Council and Hall looking to ruin Seattle. What they wanted to replace the Market with was so ugly.

I grew up in Seattle from 1963 to 1992 and now live in Chiang Mai northern Thailand. I go back to visit family and have a Dick's Deluxe and fries, but honestly I feel way safer here than there. Downtown Seattle especially after dark feels increasingly creepy and dangerous, mostly due to homelessness and drug addiction. Meanwhile I can walk around Chiang Mai any time day or night and feel safe and relatively happy. Been here 18 years and no way I'd move back to the US.
