I remember my first purchase there in 2000, two pounds of cherries, one of the bing, the other queen anne. Happiness with pits lol. On my last visit, I spent a good amount of time at the Beecher cheese shop at the market. Talked to the cheesemaker and explained I needed to specially pack several kilos of their cheese for a trip back to Manila. They happily obliged, and I had weeks of cheesy goodness. They also do great salmon sandwiches near the fish purveyors. I’m a PPM fan/groupie. I remember my first purchase there in 2000, two pounds of cherries, one of the bing, the other queen anne.

I love, love, love Pike Place market. I spent a whole day just walking around. Also took a culinary tour of Belltown and Pike Place a few days ago which I highly recommend. It started at Macrina Bakery in Belltown and ends at Dahlia Bakery, about 3 hours of walking. Other stops include Frontier room for BBQ, Rose's Chocolates, Pike Place Chowder, Jacks Seafood Stall and Cherry Street Coffee. Cheers, Lori, again you did a great job capturing the vibe and essence of your destinations. Jim, the peach is ripe if you can smell the aroma with just a sniff. You don't have to squeeze.

Kind of unreasonable not to let people squeeze-test peaches, though. How do you know it's ripe? Criminey, I’m frightened and famished at the same time looking at those donuts!
