My first walking tour of Pike Pike Place Market for 2022 for my monthly market walking tour series! This is one covers a lot and is quite comprehensive, making it my longest video I've ever uploaded to RU-vid! Something new... yay! I know some people like longer walking tour videos, so hopefully is this good news.
This tour of Seattle's iconic market, one of the oldest in the country, covers all areas of the market (which spans 9 acres) including the Gum Wall to the very first Starbucks (which really isn't the first Starbucks), I tried my best to cover a lot of ground.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this virtual walking tour. Let me know what you'd like included in future tours!

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 (since 1980). My videos and vlogs consist of Seattle and Pacific Northwest content, food and product reviews, and travel. I drink way too much coffee and eat pho 20PHO7!

I was there over the weekend (think I was at the market maybe 20 after you!) but was so busy looking at apartments I didn't get to wander very much. Luckily there will be plenty of next times :) Loved the video, as always, Dennis!

Loving my monthly “fix” of walking Pike Place Market. I have visited Seattle four times since my daughter moved there in 2017. Have hopes to move there myself someday. I enjoy all of your videos, they provide a nice overview of the city as well as the surrounding area. Have you thought about branching out further, taking the ferry to Bainbridge or even a few days out to the Olympic Peninsula? I hope to run into you sometime when I am out there. Take care.

I remember sitting down and having a wonderful tea ceremony where they rinse the tea and all the teas are in large jars on the walls. It has been a good 4 years I believe since I went there and forgot what it is called so I thought I would ask the pro!!

This is to Seattle what Times Square is to Manhattan or the French quarter to New Orleans!!! I’d love to see you do an in depth video of the waterfront, BUT!!! (Haha I said butt…) I would want to see it after the proposed builds are done! They’re supposed to get an area with some slides near the market on the walk down, but they’re also supposed to have an entire playground next to the wheel! Cannot waaaaaaaait to see that! You’re right tho man there should be a lot of fun in life!!!

Ballard is one of the more expensive neighborhoods, along with Fremont, Magnolia, Madison Valley and Capital Hill. If you're looking for a more affordable neighborhood, look in South Seattle. It's much more affordable and you can step on the Light Rail and be in downtown or Capital Hill in less than 20 minutes.
