Helping to make the Market experience are local farmers, crafts-people, businesspeople, and performers. And the Market is much more than a Seattle attraction and shopping destination. It is home to 500 residents, most of whom are low-income seniors, and it provides a variety of services for the needy.

Open seven days a week, year-round, except for Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Years Day. Sundays are voluntary opening days for Market merchants and some shops may not be open. During the peak farm season, May through October, farmers are frequently set up and ready to sell by 8 a.m. or earlier.

Space Needle, 13 miles West
Downtown Seattle
400 Broad St.

In 1959, an unlikely artist inspired by the Stuttgart Tower in Germany was sketching his vision of a dominant central structure for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair on a placemat in a coffee house. The artist was Edward E. Carlson, then president of Western International Hotels. His space-age image was to be the focus of the futuristic World's Fair in Seattle.

The Space Needle has since become the symbol of Seattle, and one of the most recognizable structures in the world.
