Seattle, WA, USA < change city >

"The epicenter of Seattle culture and artistic expression, the Market is a melting pot of all things Seattle. The Market spans 3-4 floors, 2 blocks wide and 3 blocks long. Here you will find all manner of taste testing, local artesians, niche shops, local produce and souveniers, local companies, interesting restaurants with great views, and pretty much anything you can think of. I recommend seeing the gum wall, the Rachel pig (large golden piggy bank), watching the fishmongers throw the fish, getting a sample of the famous smoked salmon, Chuckar Cherries, Micks pepper jelly, the chocolate noodles, and pretty much anything anyone else is sampling. Go down into the shops below for awesome old turn of the century pictures or propaganda art, some eclectic shopping, local artist shops, a magic shop, and a comic shop- among others. Don't forget to mosey on down toward the Pike Place brewery for TeaVana- an awesome experience in tea sampling. Ask about the little boy trick..."
