The market is surrounded by Belltown on the north and the central business district and the central waterfront on the east and south, respectively. Belltown is the most densely populated Neighborhood in Seattle Washington, United States, located on the city's downtown waterfront on land that was artificially Boundaries are diagonal to the compass since the street grid is roughly parallel to the Elliott Bay shoreline. Elliott Bay is the body of water on which Seattle Washington is located ^[2][3][4] The boundaries enclosing 17 acres are nearly those approved by the Washington Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, created by the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act. The National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA Public Law 89-665 16 U The concentration of historic buildings effectively defines the neighborhood. Compromise with pressure by developers and the Seattle Establishment^[5] subsequently reduced the official Pike Place Market Historic District designation to the 9 acres, up from the 1. 7 conceded by development interests. ^[6]

The neighborhood elevation is several hundred feet and the slope steep, so views can be impressive, but for the block-shaped Alaskan Way Viaduct built in 1953. The Alaskan Way Viaduct, completed on April 4 1953 is an elevated section of State Route 99 that runs along the Elliott Bay waterfront in Seattle's The heart of the neighborhood is the Pike Place Market and Victor Steinbrueck Park.

The original shore was mudflats below the bluffs west of Pike Place. Mudflats (also tidal flats, tide flats, etc are coastal wetlands that form when mud is deposited by tides or rivers In the later 19th century, Railroad Avenue was built on pilings through filled mudflats along what is now Western Avenue, with Alaskan Way built farther out as the fill was extended. Piers with warehouses for convenient stevedoring were extended northwest as filling was completed by 1905. ^[7] The Pike Place Market is listed in the United States National Register of Historic Places.

History

Looking east from the Elliott Bay waterfront near Pike Street. The first Washington Hotel (1891-1906, center, background) sits atop the small, steep Denny Hill, regraded in 1906-1907. At the shore is Railroad Avenue on pilings, now Western Avenue. Alaskan Way apparently does not yet exist, so this is before the completion of filling in 1905.

Between 1906 and 1907 the price of onions rose from 10 cents per pound to $1. 00 per pound. (By comparison, a pair of shoes cost $2). Seattle citizens, angry at price-gouging middlemen, pressured the city to establish a public market whereby customers could 'meet the producer' directly (this philosophy has more or less remained the same to this day). City councilman Thomas Revelle spearheaded the drive to start a Saturday morning market. And so on Saturday, August 17, 1907 City Council President [Charles H.

After an enthusiastic response from local shoppers, the first building at the Market was opened in late 1907. ^[6] Within a decade, the Corner Market, Economy Market, Sanitary Market, and North Arcade were built.

By the 1940s, more than two-thirds of the stalls in Pike Place Market were owned by Japanese-Americans. are Americans of Japanese heritage Japanese Americans have historically been among the three largest Asian American communities but in recent decades have become the sixth largest group Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941, President Franklin D.

Their property, including any stalls at Pike Place, was confiscated and sold.

In 1963, a proposal was floated to demolish Pike Place Market and replace it with Pike Plaza, which would include a hotel, an apartment building, four office buildings, a hockey arena, and a parking garage. A hotel is an establishment that provides paid lodging usually on a short-term basis An office is generally a room or other area in which people work, but may also denote a position within an Organization with specific duties attached Hockey is any of a family of Sports in which two teams compete by trying to maneuver a Ball, or a hard round rubber or heavy plastic disc called a puck This was supported by the mayor, many on the city council, and a number of market property owners. A mayor (from the Latin māior, meaning "greater" is a modern title used in many countries for the highest ranking officer in a municipal government A city council is a form of Local government, usually covering a City or other Urban area, such as a Town. However, there was significant community opposition, including help from Betty Bowen, Victor Steinbrueck, and others from the board of Friends of the Market, and an initiative was passed on November 2, 1971 that created a historic preservation zone and returned the Market to public hands.

Over the course of the 1970s, all the Market's historic buildings were restored and renovated using the original plans and blueprints and appropriate materials.

In the 1980s, federal welfare reform squeezed the social services based in the Market. As a result, a nonprofit group, the Pike Place Market Foundation, was established by the PDA to raise funds and administer the Market's free clinic, senior center, low-income housing, and childcare center. Also in the 1980s the wooden floors on the top arcade were replaced with tiles (so as to prevent water damage to merchandise on the lower floors) that were laid by the PDA after staging a hugely successful capital campaign - people could pay $35 to have their name(s) inscribed on a tile. Between 1985 and 1987, more than 45,000 tiles were installed and nearly 1.

According to the employees, this tradition started when the fishmongers got tired of having to walk out to the Market's fish table to retrieve a salmon each time someone ordered one. Eventually, the owner realized it was easier to station an employee at the table, to throw the fish over the counter. The "flying fish" have appeared in an episode of the television sitcom Frasier that was shot on location and have been featured on The Learning Channel and was also in the opening credits of MTV's The Real World: Seattle.

Notable buildings

The Pike Market neighborhood is largely defined by the concentration of historic buildings in the small area. Due to complexities and competing interests, only some if not few historic structures or places are officially designated. The Alaska Trade Building (1900–1924), 1915–1919 1st Avenue; the Late Victorian style Butterworth Building (1900-1924), 1921 1st Avenue, originally a mortuary; the Guiry and Schillestad Building (Young Hotel or Schillestad Buildings, 1900-1949), 2101-2111 1st Avenue; and the Renaissance style New Washington Hotel (Josephinum Hotel, (1900–1949), 1902 Second Avenue, are officially listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Notable people

In addition to Dan Ireland and Darryl Macdonald, who were instrumental in rescuing the Moore Theater and in establishing the SIFF, Victor Steinbrueck was the leading architect-activist in defining the Pike Market neighborhood, and artist Mark Tobey in visualizing and recording, in developing his "Northwest Mystic" style of the internationally-recognized Northwest School of art. Victor Steinbrueck (December 15 1911 Mandan North Dakota - February 14 1985 was a Seattle Architect, and University of Washington faculty Mark George Tobey ( December 11, 1890 &ndash April 24, 1976) was an American abstract expressionist Internationally recognized in the 1940s, Tobey explored the neighborhood with his art in the 1950s and early 1960s,^[15][16] as the area was being increasingly characterized by the Seattle Establishment as overdue for urban renewal, particularly replacement with a parking garage, high-rise housing and modern, upscale retail. Urban Renewal (similar to Urban Regeneration in British English) is a controversial U ^[6] People of city neighborhoods and citizen preservation activists struggled through the 1960s, culminating in 1971 with 2 to 1 passage of a citizen initiative for protection and citizen oversight of the core Pike Place Market that has since largely protected the neighborhood. ^[6][12][17] George Rolfe, the first director of the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (PDA), played a key role in the economic revitalization of the Market after it was saved by the 1971 referendum. It was under his management that the direction of automobile traffic on Pike Place was reversed and the pedestrian-friendly brick paving was introduced. Rolfe also emphasized the construction of pedestrian routes to the waterfront so that the Market became the center of a pedestrian network. Sol Amon, owner of Pure Food Fish, is also notable as the longest running vendor at the Pike Place Market. He was named by the Seattle City Council as "King of the Market in 2006" in commemoration of Pure Food Fish's golden anniversary. Sol, aka "The Cod Father", is a large supporter of the Market Foundation and has helped in the Foundation's efforts to fund services for low-income people. On April 11, 2006, Sol Amon Day, he donated all of the day's profits from Pure Food Fish to the Market Foundation. ^[18]

Local farmers and the Market

Local Washington farmers have long been a staple at the market, but concerns were raised in 2008 that the Market had become more of a tourist attraction than venue for shopping for produce and groceries. ^[19]
