Starting in May 2008 tours meet at the historic Market Theater is Post Alley. Starting at 1st and Pike, there is an alley that travels underneath the Market. Two sets of stairs are right next to the Fish Market. The theater is in the Alley next to the Gum Wall.


We stay one step ahead of security as we go through the buildings, so please arrive just before 6pm for the tour so that we can start on time.

Parking can be tough around the Market. If you drive down Western Avenue, which runs parallel to Pike Place, you will find the Public Market Parking Garage. Cost is $3/night after 5:30pm which makes it a great deal.

There are no public restrooms open after 6pm, so plan accordingly.

There are stairs involved, about 4 flights. Weather in Seattle can be cold and rainy, so you may want to bring an umbrella during the winter months.
