One of the most notable is the aforementioned Rachel the Piggy Bank. Find her under the red Public Market Center sign at the entrance on First and Pike (shes seldom seen without a few giggling riders or groups posed alongside her 550-pound bronze frame). Rachels lesser-known but equally sizeable cousin, Billie the Pig, is also available for photos ...
The towering sign itself is a local landmark. Dating back to 1927, it is one of the oldest outdoor neon signs on the West Coast. For a less crowded shot, try posing a block east on Pike Street, complete with a stunning background of Puget Sound and maybe even a ferry sailing in from Bainbridge Island.
For sit-down dining, Lowells is a classic market experience with prime waterfront views and plenty of local seafood on the menu. Make a night of it with a reservation at Matts in the Market (revered for its elevated fare and eye-to-eye view of the glowing market sign) or The Pink Door, where youll find Italian dishes and cirque-cabaret performances...
Theres no shortage of ways to satisfy a sweet tooth at Pike Place Market.

Shugs Soda Fountain & Ice Cream on First Avenue is chock-full of charm, with its vintage soda ...
After browsing on the street level, follow the illuminated sign pointing down to the lower arcade levels to find an array of offbeat shops housing magic tricks, vintage posters and magazines, and retro pop culture paraphernalia, from lightsabers to rare comics at Golden Age Collectables.
Along Western Avenue, pop into boutiques Ugly Baby and La Ru and The Paper Feather for quirky gifts and handmade paper products, respectively.
While the farmer stalls close up during the evening, theres still plenty to do after the sun goes down if you know where to look. Sibling bar to restaurant Matts in the Market, Radiator Whiskey serves its impressive store of whiskey, bourbon, scotch, and rye from barrel taps, along with signature cocktails (have you ever tried a bourbon margarita?)...
Tucked behind a staircase on the Pike Place Hill Climb, Zig Zag Cafe is a local stalwart known for its mood lighting and expertly crafted drinks. Steps away, shoebox-size JarrBar is a Mediterranean-inspired watering hole serving craft cocktails and small plates until 2am.
Even locals are sometimes surprised to stumble upon the Pike Place Urban Garden in its under-the-radar location on the rooftop of the LaSalle Building. Produce grown here is donated to the Pike Market Senior Center and Food Bank. Snag a spot on a bench between winding tomato plants and raised garden beds to take in views of the water and the toweri...
