Celebrating Pike Place Market's 110th Anniversary
On the public market’s first day, August 17, 1907, crowds of shoppers seeking fresh produce and bargains descended upon the new marketplace. The first farmer sold out of produce within minutes.
August 17, 2017, marks the 110th anniversary of Pike Place Market's historic founding. Join us for a celebratory event!

John Stamets "Portrait of a Market" Photography Exhibit
Thursday, August 17, 6:30-8:30 p.m. | Pike Place Market ArcadeHonoring the work and life of local photographer John Stamets, this walking tour features 20 panoramic Widelux photos from his 1987 book Portrait of a Market, displayed throughout the Market Arcade at the original locations that they were taken. The large-format photos capture the vitality and abundance of Pike Place in the mid-1980s. The photographs provide a unique insight into an important chapter in the history of Pike Place Market and reflect how the Market has changed while remaining true to its rich tradition of diverse residents, merchants, farmers and shoppers.
The twilight tour will provide an opportunity for people to document their own history of the Market. At each location where the photos are displayed, visitors can shoot photos showing the Market's past and its continued vitality in the present.
