Especially around 8:...I LOVE the Pike Place Market! Especially around 8:45 a.m., a little before they officially open and it's not packed with tourists. Like you, I've had vendors let me slide when I was a tiny bit short on change -- and you bet your cauliflower I go back to that same vendor nearly every time now. Another favorite experience at the PPM that keeps me returning for that neighborly, home-y feeling: I was hoping to buy some sausages from Uli's Famous Sausages one Friday morning before they opened. They saw my three-year-old son and me looking longingly at their display case and opened just for us. Then, when the woman behind the counter cajoled my son into singing the ABC song, she packed us a couple of cheese bratwursts for free, specifying that they were just for him! I LOVE this place so much that I'll go way out of my way (I live in KENT and work in the U District, for cryin' out loud) to shop there!shirewoman2https://www.blogger.com/profile/02176540902638995880noreply@blogger.com
