This weekend, Pike Place Market will gain a 175 foot-tall hunk of steel.

On Sunday, September 27, 6 AM – 9 PM, a tower crane will be installed on the MarketFront construction site. Western Avenue will be closed from Virginia St. to Pine St. during this time.

Please note that this portion of Western Avenue may re-open sooner than 9 PM.

The Western Avenue entrance to the Public Market Parking Garage will be accessible going northward on Western Avenue. Signage will direct drivers on a detour route to the garage entrance. Southbound drivers on Western Avenue will be directed to proceed up Virginia Street.

Pike Place Market is open and fully operational during MarketFront construction. For details on construction impacts and to sign up for construction updates go to the Sellen Construction project website: sellen.com/marketfront.

Thank you for your patience during installation, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
