Pike Place Public Market in Seattle opened in 1907 as a place where farmers could sell directly to city shoppers, cutting out middlemen who had driven up prices. Views of its marquee and shed capture the market's early working character, when open-air stalls and simple wooden structures sheltered wagons, produce, and the crowds that came to buy them. The market has survived redevelopment threats over the decades and remains one of the oldest continuously operating public markets in the United States, so a picture of its early buildings shows the roots of a place that still draws visitors to the waterfront.
