I've lived here just outside the city for 2 years and still haven't been to Pike Place Market. I feel like a bad Seattleite. Is it worth the tourist hype?

Yes! Buy cheap flowers, eat at Matt’s in the Market (my favorite!) or piroshky or chowder, you can walk down to the pier and walk along the water. Or then take the passenger ferry over to alki. Anyway, lots to do downtown :)

100%. So many cool vendors and hidden shops below. Amazing view of the Sound/Olympic Mountains. Recommend Matt’s in the Market or Old Stove Brewing for a bite or drink.

It’s a tourist attraction but it’s also an actual market that locals depend on! It’s awesome

It's definitely big crowded though. I went a few times and feel like a sardine. Food is lit though.

Yes - it’s nice to check out, especially Hellenika for the cultured ice cream (macadamia and honey flavor is the best one). I also enjoy Paris Madrid Grocery where I got some affordable and interesting spices like sumac. I would recommend researching a little to see the independently owned shops selling interesting things so you can support them (versus waiting two hours to see inside the pike place Starbucks)

Yes omg. Make a ressy at Pink Door.

Been in Seattle for ~1 year and something I’ve observed is the constant s*it-talking of the city from the locals. Is this because they haven’t experienced other places? While the current homelessness in the city needs to be handled, crime is still relatively low compared to other major cities. The complaints about gloominess also seems a bit dramatic. I’m from the NE and am so grateful to not be dealing with snowy winters and sweltering summers.
