  • 02 Pike Place Market
    The Market as Organizer of an Urban CommunitY Pike Place Market, Seattle The Pike Place Market, which climbs a steep hillside not far.above the Seattle waterfront (fig. 2-1), is one of America's great urban places. Some people, hearing its name without ever having been there, might think the Pike Place Market won the Rudy Bruner Award for Excellence in the Urban Environment because it is a "festival marketplace." They would be wrong, and it is worth pointing out why. The places that developers call festival markets are shopping centers that offer food and goods in an entertaining urban setting. Festival markets have wonderful aromas, public performers, and lots of small shops. They typically have interesting views. And all these things can be found at Pike Place, which is certainly festive. But the differences between Pike Place and a festival market are profound. Unlike festival markets, the Pike Place Market is a place where people live as well as shop. Some of Pike Place's inhabitants are wealthy, but a gleater number are poor or of moderate income; they occupy new or rehabilitated apartments mainly because an effort was made to obtain government subsidies. The chain merchants that operate in festival mar- kets are not allowed at Pike Place; on the contrary, Pike Place strives to rely on independent enterprises whose owners are on the premises, making their concerns and their personalities felt. Although there are plenty of restaurants and take-out food stands at Pike Place, just as in a festival market, much of the food at Pike Place comes in a basic, less expensive form-raw, forhome consumption.

  • Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Final
    C-025-001 FHWA, WSDOT, and the City of Seattle appreciate receiving your comments. The project has evolved since comments were submitted in 2004, please refer to this Final EIS for information on the current alternatives. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative would not have a tunnel operations building near Pike Place Market. The Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative does include a tunnel operations building that would be constructed on the block bounded by Pine Street, SR 99, and the Alaskan Way surface street. C-025-002 The Steinbrueck Park Lid is part of the Cut-and-Cover Tunnel Alternative in this Final EIS. The preferred Bored Tunnel Alternative and the Cut- and-Cover Tunnel Alternative would have beneficial effects on the views from the Market and Victor Steinbrueck Park, as the aerial viaduct structure that currently intervenes in the views to the west, would no longer be part of the landscape. SR 99: Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Project Final EIS - Appendix T 2010 Comments and Responses July 2011 C-025-003 There is no monitoring planned specifically for areaways in Pioneer Square or Pike Place Market since the areaways are some distance away from the bored tunnel. However, when individual building monitoring plans are developed some areaways may be included and monitored as needed. A number of Pike Place Market buildings on First Avenue and Pike Place would be routinely monitored for potential settlement. At least 5 of these buildings have areaways, which are believed to be in good condition. C-025-004 WSDOT briefed the Commission on the project in April 2011.

    PIKE PLACE MARKET PDA CONTACT Madison Bristol Pike Place Market 85 Pike Street, Room 500 Seattle, Wash. 98101 (206) 774-5259 [email protected] PikePlaceMarket.org OVERVIEW Pike Place Market is Seattle’s iconic public market, with more than 15 million visitors exploring the nine-acre historic district annually. Founded in August 1907, the Market operates one of the longest running farmers markets in the U.S. and continues to advocate for the preservation of regional farmland. The bustling year-round market is an urban village of more than 500 small independent businesses, including farmers, craftspeople, butchers, fish markets, shops, bakeries, restaurants and specialty food stores. There are more than 450 low-income residents who live in the Market, many in apartments above popular storefronts. Social services in the Market help support these residents, many of whom are seniors. PIKE PLACE MARKET CHARTER Pike Place Market is part of a nine-acre Market Historic District created in 1971 by the City of Seattle to protect and preserve the neighborhood’s character and buildings. In 1974, the City chartered the Pike Place Market Preservation PIKE PLACE MARKET Page 2 of 7 and Development Authority (PDA), a nonprofit public corporation, to preserve, rehabilitate and protect buildings within the Market, increase the opportunities for farm and food retailing, support small and marginal businesses, and provide services for low-income individuals. FARMERS MARKET Pike Place Market is home to Seattle’s first farmers market. Founded in 1907 to provide a place for farmers and customers to meet directly, the Market continues the “Meet the Producer” tradition with farmers selling their produce and products at Market farm stalls seven days a week, 363 days a year.

  • Open House 2 VICTOR STEINBRUECK PARK ORIGINAL DESIGN the Park Is an Extension of the Market and Lively Public Space with a Tranquil View of the Sound and Mountains
    OVERVIEW We are improving Victor Steinbrueck Park to preserve its legacy and signifi cance. Victor Steinbrueck Park was created in 1981 by architect and activist Victor Steinbrueck and landscape architect Rich Haag. After helping to save Pike Place Market from demolition, the two designed the park (originally named Market Park) as a place to enjoy the view and to act as an extension of Market’s social life, providing a place to gather outside. The park designers felt strongly that the park provide for all people, including disadvantaged members of our community. Victor Steinbrueck Park is an incredibly well-used and well-loved space, and over the years it has seen the effects of overuse and general wear and tear. Various elements have also been added or removed from the park over time. This project will take a holistic approach to improving the park for all. GOALS SCOPE PROCESS In 2008, City Council passed a Levy that allocated $1.6M for The scope of this project includes public outreach, design, and The design team meets regularly with numerous local “Improvements to Public Safety”.
