Review
Jack Evans' "Little History" of Seattle's Pike Place Market is a complete picture of the events, history and characters of Seattle's bustling waterfront tourist attraction. Evans' history stretches from the Market's earliest days, when farmers and merchants paid rents of 25 cents a day to sell their fish, fruit, vegetables, antiques, jewelry and second hand goods.... -- Capitol Hill Times
Product Description
Pike Place Market is an institution that Seattlelites love with the same passion San Franciscans do their cable cars. The book tells the story of this world-famous market, which started in 1907. This easy-to-read, fact-filled book covers the early days up to the present time. The book contains many vignettes of farmers, merchants and other folks who helped to create this bastion of free enterprise that was the starting place for such highly successful companies as Starbucks, Tradewells and Mannings cafeterias. It also covers farmer rebellions, the Japanese and the market, craftspeople, fish merchants, prominent buildings and hotels, Market characters and the history of farm products.
