Pike Place Market

We wanted to get away for a couple of days over the holiday and our normal weekend options - Portland and Vancouver - were either too expensive, too much work, or done too recently, so we tried something different. We spent two nights in downtown Seattle.

We rolled our suitcases to the stop for the 26 and used our Orca cards. We stayed at the Alexis. We ate two dinners (Heartwood Provisions and NiJo) and one breakfast (Bookstore Cafe) within a block of the hotel. We ate our second breakfast at Red Cedar and Sage and were reminded just how many little nooks and crannies there are in the multiple floors that comprise the Pike Place Market.

The Market was busy and colorful on Saturday morning. The weather was chilly, but beautiful, and the views back at downtown and out over the water were great.
