Pike's Place

Pike's Place Market. What image enters your mind when you think of Seattle? Fish flying? Space Needle soaring above the western sky? Elliot Bay and the ferry heading off into the sunset? Has Seattle effectively marketed its image? Does the "personal brand" of this city capture the vital essence of what makes this place tick? Seattle might not have the iconic lure of San Francisco or New York, but its Pacific Northwest dominance entitles a certain degree of pride.
