Monthly walking tour of Seattle's Pike Place Market for April 2020. Filmed at 10:00 AM on Sunday April 3rd.
The walk begins behind at the back of Pike Place Market. After touring the market I make my way east towards Westlake Center (retail core - downtown Seattle). I pass by 3rd and Pike and observe how thing look on this particular day.
After hanging out at Westlake Park a bit, I walk to the Washington State Convention Center and discuss shopping, restaurants and businesses that I see along the way. The video ends in front of The North Face store.

It looks like that 3rd Street area by the McDonald’s has really been cleaned up. I love seeing the police just sitting there!

growing up in Seattle, from age 10 -15, your walking videos bring back fond memories of a City we never should have left, but being 15, you go where your parents find employment, unfortunately it was Southern California.

Good video. Hey, when you go to Pike Place, I don't recall you going to the shops downstairs. I remember one time you went down there and said you didn't have time to go through the area. Maybe I missed that one. Anyway, nice video. Surprised that their weren't more people out and about on Sunday but like you said, it was early and early April. Sure miss that area.

@LaoOcean 2 года назад

Yeah, I have a video where I focused on the lower levels. Feel free to check it out!

Love, love your walking tours of Seattle. Is there a walkway over Alaskan Way near pier 66, from top of Bell Center? I think I saw one. Where does it go? Looking forward to more of your wonderful walks. 😊

@LaoOcean 2 года назад

There is a bridge and it drops you off a few blocks north of the market. Very walkable!

@EricaGamet 2 года назад

I went to visit the market and found out my favorite produce stand (Manzo's) closed last week after 65 years in the same spot! I am very very sad! 😭😭😭

@chocolatecoveredgummybears Год назад

far different when i went to pike place last year. we saw bodies strung out all over streets, some even with white tarps over them

@heatherrehbein 2 года назад

Pretty new to your channel, but loving it already. Planning a trip to Seattle and keep trying to see if taking the monorail to Westlake Center and then walking to Pike Place is a reasonable thing... when you got to 5th I was hoping you would turn left and either walk to or show the monorail stop! Looks like in terms of distances shouldn't be an issue... I see the articles about safety and I wonder if just walking down Stewart would be a better option, or if I am just seeing headlines and shouldn't be as concerned... seems like your walk was safe... ☮

@LaoOcean 2 года назад

Thanks for watching. Monorail is next to Nordstrom Rack and getting to Pike Place from there is a breeze.

@pnwpaths2925 2 года назад

Definitely be aware of your surroundings on/near 3rd. Typically there are always people traveling on Pike and Pine to the market. Just stick with a group of people and shouldn’t be an issue. Currently the police have a mobile command unit stationed at 3rd and pike, so probably the safest way to the market right now

Yes you’ll be fine just be aware.

@JohnDoe-mt7ws 2 года назад

I had to drop someone off at King street station today. From my what I saw and also from what I seeing in these videos, the streets still look clean and it’s not as if homeless tents have taken over entire streets. However there is near complete disappearance of retail and restaurants! Pike place is the only place left with some vibrancy.

@LaoOcean 2 года назад

Planning on it.

@pnwpaths2925 2 года назад

I think you got it in there before all the troublemakers woke up for the day. Macys closed down and then Amazon leased the building but have since sent their employees home for safety concerns. Been downtown more than I wish lately, sad to see it boarded up and not the downtown I love. Gotta say though, getting there early probably a good call. Got the place pretty much to yourself! I think I have only gotten a Seattle dog at 2 in the morning after being at the bars for the night. So like 10+ years ago 😱. We are definitely known For teriyaki and using ranch on it as well. Never tried it but it is a Seattle thing apparently.

@pnwpaths2925 2 года назад

@bihbhkjbnlk the teriyaki places in the downtown area always had ranch available and would see/hear about people cover their chicken in it🤷‍♂️. That was when my wife worked downtown 15+ years ago though.
