This is my narrated walking tour of Seattle's Pike Place Market for the month of March 2022. For new viewers out there, I make monthly walking tour videos at the market.
The market was busy today! Tourism is back in Seattle, it looks like. The tour begins at 10 am after a cup of coffee at Ghost Alley Espresso.
I talk about many different things in this video, including giving updates related to the Seattle area. I began this series in January 2021 and it has been interesting to see how the market has changed and evolved. Hope you enjoy the video.

A little bit about me...
My name is Dennis aka Lao Ocean (also aka Dr. Wtpho, but more about that later) and I'm a Lao American RU-vidr based in Seattle, WA. Seattle has been my home since 1980. My videos and vlogs consist of walking tours in Seattle and abroad, travel, and things related to the Lao diaspora. I drink way too much coffee, eat pho 20PHO7, and also make food and food review videos. 🤓✌️

I talk about so many different things in this video. Lots happening around here and as well as there are things on the horizon. UW cherry blossoms should be in full bloom in a week or so. Don't forget to spring forwarding tonight (daylight savings time)! ✌️ Watch more Pike Place Market videos here 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U50bNVh6qV0.html

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another excellent production Mr. Ocean; five stars as usual... Truly enjoyed the rambling nature of this monthly Pike Place Market update. Very happy the tourists are back, and it's good to see all the beautiful naked faces... Lots of good philosophy in this video as well... Mr. Ocean I could watch your content all day. Oh, by the way I DO NOT want to see you get mugged. Keep the awesome videos rolling out Sir, and thank you once again...☮

I've lived in the Seattle area since the early '90s. I've never have felt safe in downtown Seattle especially from the dinner hour onward. I feel it's pretty safe to just okay from after sun up to about 4 PM. I do my best to be out of downtown by 5 PM. I appreciate it when you say how safe or not a particular part of Seattle is.

Awwww, my favorite place in the world (almost)! : ) What is the construction for on that street? Love the green knoll. Great place to people watch! Miss home sooooo much. So beautiful!!

The signs in specific booths is, like you mentioned, so that people don't try to take the photos to then copy and make their own artwork. And while it's nice that-even if there isn't a sign-you want to not stick your camera in people's faces, you ARE in a public space. If you're shooting commercially, there are other items to consider... but if you're just vlogging for personal use (being monetized would add another layer to that), then no one can really complain. I think the market has a policy about filming for commercial use... and I know you can't use the signs in a commercial use piece. But being in public, one does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Recently came across your channel while researching for a 2 day solo trip next month. So far you've walked around all the places I was planning to walk around/stay at and it looks so great! Was planning on staying around the Climate Pledge Arena / Space Needle as I'm primarily going to see my team play the Kraken. Seems like the area is so walkable and easy to get to from the airport too. I'm also not a coffee person but I HAVE to try some while I'm there haha.

I lived in West Seattle from 1960-1965, so your videos bring back good memories. I live in So Cal know, where everything is expensive, has too much traffic, and gas prices are out of sight, wish I was back in Seattle, but that's life!!!

One of my most favorite lines," that's a damn fine cup of coffee". The market vids are some of my favorite, always so relaxing.Hoorah, for the mask sign is down, hope they threw it into the deepest part of Pudget Sound. Got a little bit of snow today up here in the mountains. The cat performers.... little to weird for me. I have a field full of daffodils now, good to see things coming back to life. God bless Mr Dennis and your family. Also God bless our police, you guys are needed more than ever.

@N617A 2 года назад

Note while watching: yes! What those cranes are supposedly building (the overlook/promenade walk), it’s supposed to be amazing! A lot of pretty trees, a small playground (there’s gonna be one between the Ferris wheel and aquarium piers too!) and a long bridge that crosses the new Alaska way (which is gonna be shifted over where the viaduct was.) But it’s gonna tie pike place and the waterfront together better! And I had a few little suggestions for them too (like a glass/acrylic public piano that won’t get damaged in the rain…) sorry sorry… I am just excited to see all of that…

@domciuniuszek 2 года назад

I'm curious, you mentioned that some people say that Seattle is dead, no more tourists, etc. Why do they think so? I visited Seattle in October '21 and I've been in love with the city since, the vibes were great, the sights were beautiful, food was amazing. I genuinely that that Seattle is awesome and can't wait to go back :)

If you watch my earlier videos from two years ago when protests were happening and you read the comments you will what I was talking about. People hate on Seattle in the comments.

I’m 53 and a Seattle Native. I’m in the city several times a week. It is very sad what has been allowed to happen in our city. Politicians do nothing to very little about crime and the homeless issue. They seem to care about not displacing homeless people rather than the businesses the homeless people are literally killing. Love your videos though!
