This week we explore Seattle in the Pacific Northwest. Pike Place Market is the oldest and largest continuously running farmers’ market in the US. And to many, it’s even considered the soul of Seattle. From the fresh seafood that lines the stalls to the home of the first Starbucks store, Pike Place Market is a must-visit for both locals and visitors alike. Our guide to the market is Monocle’s Sheena Rossiter. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
