Pike Place Market

We went in to Seattle to meet a couple of mom & dad's friends from Wichita at Cutter's Bayhouse Restaurant just across the street from Pike Place Market. It was a great place to eat with a fabulous view since one side of the dining room was glass overlooking the Puget Sound. Since it was our first visit to Cutters, they brought us a complimentary appetizer of Salmon & Artichoke dip. It was fabulous!
After we dined, we walked around Pike Place Market and enjoyed watching them throw fish at the Pike Place Fish Co. They are famous not only for their flying fish but also for their tools used in helping businesses learn to work as a team.

The market is filled with various vendors with everything from flavored vinegar to leather bags to flowers and jam. It is fun to just walk around and look. We managed to spend our afternoon doing just that - and then decided it was time to head home. Dad had an evening meeting so mom and I spent the evening at the apartment watching mysteries on tv.

Those are two really great pictures of Jerry by the lake. You need to get them framed ---- really!!!!

Isn't Pike Place Market cool! Sarah Holstedt tells me that many brides don't order flowers out there, they just go to the market the morning of their weddings and pick up the arrangements there at the market.

Did any of the Hiltons try to catch any fish there at the market? It is quite a show!
