Our shop is below the Gum Wall ~ watch this video sent in by Darren, a recent guest, to find us
We are located at 1410 Lower Post Alley, Seattle WA 98101. Lower Post Alley in South of the main entrance of the Market and below the Economy Market building. It is a red brick Alley and is famous for the Gum Wall.
FROM THE ENTRANCE OF THE MARKET: First and Pike you will find Rachel the Pig, the Pike Place Fish Market (where they throw the fish) and the iconic Public Market Center sign. Lower Post Alley is below. The restaurant, IL Bistro, is on the Alley. Walk down Post Alley to the GUM WALL - our office is further down the Alley past the Pike Brewing Company. The Gum Wall is on the exterior of the Market Theater.
FROM FIRST AVENUE: Use the elevator at the Pike Brewing Company and Pub (in the South Arcade.) Located in the middle of the First Avenue block between Pike and Union. That elevator takes you right next to our entrance and is accesible until 11:00 P.M.
FROM WESTERN AVENUE/WATERFRONT: Our shop in Lower Post Alley is a short distance from Western Avenue and Union Street, behind the Four Seasons Hotel. Walk up Lower Post Alley. We are close to the neon sign above the Alley that reads Post Alley.
Parking: If you drive down Western Avenue, which runs parallel to Pike Place, you will find the Public Market Parking Garage* and the Republic Parking Lot. These parking lots have better rates than those on First Avenue. * The Public Market Parking Garage on Western is now offering $5.00/ all night parking starting at 5:00 PM.
After 8:00 P.M. street parking is free. If you are coming to one of our earlier tours, parking under the Viaduct allows you to plug the meter for 4 hours. If you time it right, you don't need to plug the meter more than once and you do not have to return at 8:00 to move your car.
The Public Market surface parking lot below the Joe Desimone Bridge on Western Avenue is only $7 for evening parking after 5:00 P.M. every day. The Republic parking lot at Western and Union has evening parking rates and the lot is very close to our shop. Their rates are Sun-Thurs $8.00 after 5:00 P.M. and Fri & Sat nights $10.00 after 5:00 P.M.
