“My love affair for the Market began the first time I walked through the vegetable and fruit stalls and took in the sights and smells of being in a place that was part living history, and part history-in-the making. Now, as a Board member of the Pike Place Market Foundation, it is my privilege to champion the Market and it’s precious assets so they are here to be discovered for many more years to come!”

Jennifer Morgan, Cambia Health

“I am excited to serve on the Board and bring my perspective, relationships and business and Public Relations experience to support the mission and vision of The Market Foundation. I believes that as Seattle continues to experience unprecedented growth and change, it is essential to advocate for the services that The Market Foundation provides so that these services continue to be part of Seattle’s DNA.”
