Valley Vegetable Gardens stall at Pike Place Market, Seattle, circa 1928

Order an Image
Before the Pike Place Market opened in 1907, King County farmers had a harder time making a steady income. They either had to sell their produce to wholesalers or travel to town to sell directly to hotels, restaurants, and residents. If no buyers were found, the fruits and vegetables were left to rot. The market gave farmers a permanent place to sell their produce directly to Seattle buyers.

This photo shows people shopping at one of the stalls at the market.
