We stayed overnight at Monroe about 1 hour's drive from Kelly Whitely's place. Kelly kindly offered us accommodation at her apartment for the next couple of days. We now do a walking tour of the city.

Our first port of call is the Pike Place Markets, a public market overlooking the Elliott Bay waterfront. The Market opened August 17, 1907, and is one of the oldest continually operated public farmers' markets in the United States.

One of the Market's major attractions is the Pike Place Fish Market, where they throw fish to each other. When a customer orders a fish, an employee picks up the fish and hurls it over the countertop, where another employee catches it and preps it for sale

These prices look cheap to me. An interesting aside is that at the Pike's Place market, every fish market employee in every venue wears the Grunden brand. Grunden is a local company that specialises in heavy duty weather gear.

If they're $10 each, they're expensive. If it's that price for a bunch, it's cheap.

The Market is built on the edge of a steep hill and consists of several lower levels located below the main level. The upper street level contains fishmongers, fresh produce stands and craft stalls operating in the covered arcades.

In Pike's Place, opposite the Farmer's Market, is the very first Starbuck's shop. This is where it all started with a fabulous idea: sell cappuccinos in the US.
