Addressing our Community
On August 17, 1917 Councilmember Thomas Revelle proclaimed to the citizens of Seattle:
“The Market is yours. I dedicate it to you and may it prove of benefit to you and your children. It is for you to protect, defend, and uphold and it is for you to see that those who occupy it treat you fairly…This is one of the greatest days in the history of Seattle.”
I couldn’t agree more. It was among our greatest days and it remains among our City’s greatest resources today. As a loyal supporter, I know you must feel the same and I thank you for personally helping us protect and defend our Public Market with your time, talent and treasure. All of YOU help make the Pike Place Market community a vibrant, thriving village of local farmers, merchants and low-income residents.
With great foresight, “The Friends of the Market” wrote into The Market’s Charter: “the vitality and economic health of Seattle’s downtown is inextricably linked to the well-being of its less-fortunate”. The Market’s mission to care for the most vulnerable members of our community goes back its earliest history. It was exemplified by Guiseppe “Joe” Desimone who, during the depression, would bring struggling families into his home, where he and his wife, Assunta, would feed and clothe them.
This mission of caring continues today through the work of The Market Foundation. By combining fundraising, advocacy and community engagement, the Foundation creates a neighborhood model that allows a diverse community to live and thrive here at Pike Place Market. You can see our mission in the joy-filled hearts of the children and parents at the Pike Market preschool; the seniors who are safe and well-nourished in our Market housing, senior center, cooking classes, produce stands and food bank; and the patients who are cared for by the medical clinic. This thriving village is a direct result of your gifts last year.
Together, we change the lives of more than 11,000 seniors, children and families each year. Last Christmas, one of those seniors wrote us to say: “After nearly two years of homelessness, I received housing only three weeks before the Christmas holidays. I have you wonderful folks at the Senior Center to thank, not only for the last few weeks but for the year and a half of daily caring and unselfish concern you showed me.”
Yet, despite all of our work, the number of homeless people in Seattle grew by 21% last year, according to the King County One Night Count taken in January 2015. So, it is no coincidence that last year our Food Bank saw a 21% increase in clients, and demand for our Senior Center and Clinic also experienced double digit increases. Our housing and social service agencies are now struggling to deal with this increase in demand. Now is our opportunity to stand up and do more.
We believe every person in Seattle should have a place to call home, access to healthy food and a community that surrounds them with love and support. You have all been critical to our success to date and I ask you to stay with us as we pursue this goal.
This kind of dignity will truly transform our City. Only at Pike Place Market will you see a transformation of both our Cityscape and our ability to care for our community in one place. We call it the new Pike Place MarketFront. Construction is already underway and we will open this new waterfront side of the Market in 2017.
The new MarketFront includes more room for farmers, artists, local businesses and more low-income senior housing and a Neighborhood Center to expand our social services.
Now is your opportunity to be part of the once-in-a-lifetime expansion of Pike Place Market nd to literally write your name into history on the new MarketFront. The Pike Up! campaign will increase our capacity to serve our city now and long into the future. Read more on page #
I challenge you to find any other place with the longevity and the loyalty that you see at Pike Place Market. We look out for each other, support one another and create a thriving village for all right in the heart of our city.
Gratefully,
Lillian Sherman, Executive Director
Our Impact
With your support, this year we granted $875,000 to vital services here in the Market. Your donations help make these services possible for our community.
Only at Pike Place Market: See our work in action
My husband and I have worked in Pike Place Market for a combined 14 years and being parents at the Preschool has only deepened our connection to the Market community. It is hard to find early-learning centers that provide this level of high-quality care for children and families.
Noriko, Parent at Pike Market Childcare & Preschool
The doctors at Neighborcare Health at Pike Place Market are my family. We joke and tease each other, and they take good care of me. This place feels like home.
Dennis, Patient at Neighborcare Health at Pike Place Market
After our land flooded and washed away over two acres of crops we weren't sure what we were going to do. Luckily we were able to replant these crops before the season because of the money we received from the Safety Net. We are so thankful to have this resource.
Xai, Farmer at Pike Place Market
Pike Market Senior Center gives me a place to go. I can come here and meet people. I have conversations and interact with my friends. It is a very social place. I talk about the news and what's going on in the world. The Senior Center is a nice place.
Robert, Member of the Pike Market Senior Center
When I help check-in guests at the Pike Market Food Bank, I get to see faces which show sad stories, stress, hardship, illness, anger, pain, sadness, and also hope, sweet humbleness, relief and gratitude too. Recovery from harsh life circumstances is tough so most of us depend on these services.
Melanie, Pike Market Food Bank Volunteer & Client
I have lived in the Market for 30 years and I was one of the founding Board members of the Pike Market Senior Center. I’m a disabled veteran, so a roof over my head and access to quality care is my number one priority! It’s a peace of mind knowing that medical care is a block from my doorstep.
Billy, Pike Place Market ResidentHighlights from Our Year
Food Access Program
“We are trying to help people eat better,” says Dana Gould, the Food Access Program Coordinator. “Once people have the opportunity to eat healthy, they are more open to making other positive changes in their lives.” In 2014, the Food Access program delivered 401 subsidized bags full of Market produce to families in daycare centers and preschools in downtown Seattle. With the help of Fresh Bucks, the Market’s food stamp matching program, over $20,000 in food stamps were redeemed the farm stalls year-round! Our community kitchen teaches people how to cook healthy meals from scratch and help build a healthier community by bringing diverse people together around food.Read more about the Food Access Program.
Heritage House at the Market
For the 62 residents at Heritage House at the Market, the Market’s assisted living facility for the frailest low-income seniors, the Market and all of its beauty and services are never too far. Utilizing the Market Foundation’s Food Access Program and Market Fresh coupons, Heritage House at the Market purchases fresh produce from the Market’s local farmers and showcases the farmers to the residents. “There is a real sense of pride and ownership in the Market from our residents. This is where we live. This is our home. This is our community,” says Marika Rausa, Executive Director.
Pike Market Food Bank
The Pike Market Food Bank provides nutritious food at no cost to some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Open to the public twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, the Food Bank serves over 600 clients per week. In addition, the Food Bank’s home delivery program brings needed food to over 70 homebound seniors each week, an increase of 20 clients over last year. In 2014, the Food Bank saw a 21% increase in the number of clients served, compared to last year.
Pike Market Childcare and Preschool
At the Pike Market Childcare and Preschool, children have important work to do. It’s called play. This is because the program’s teachers know through research that the emotional and social wellbeing a child acquires through play is one of the highest predictors of early school success. The big news for 2015 is the arrival of babies at Pike Market Childcare and Preschool. Now families with older children in the program can find care for their babies too! With this added capacity, the program will now be able to serve children and families for a full five years.
Pike Market Senior Center
The Pike Market Senior Center provides a place where adults over 55-years old can come together and be among friends. As 90% of the center’s clients are considered very low-income and over half are homeless, the center has a special focus on those who are aging in poverty. In 2014 the Center served the most meals ever: almost 59,000 meals. And, the Center’s social workers found homes for 37 homeless seniors in a city where the competition for affordable housing is brutal. As a result of diligent follow-up by the social workers, 98% of these seniors remained in housing throughout the year.
Neighborcare Health
Neighborcare Health at Pike Place Market’s primary focus is on the senior homeless population, which accounts for over 60% of the Market Clinic’s patients. Many of these patients face multiple chronic illnesses, including mental illness. The Clinic offers each of its patient’s caring, personal attention. Good health means good nutrition, and Clinic staff includes a professional nutritionist who works closely with the Market’s Food Access Program. Through this Program, the nutritionist is able to provide her clients with Fresh Bucks, which they can spend like cash to purchase fresh produce from market farmers. Clients can also take advantage of the cooking classes taught by the Clinic’s nutritionist in the Market’s Atrium kitchen.

Market Business Spotlight: Sosio’s Produce
Sosio’s Produce is a Pike Place Market institution that has been family owned for more than 50 years. The stand is named after Sosio Manzo, an immigrant farmer who used to sell his own produce on the low tables when the Market was still young. Today, Sosio’s is owned and run by Mike Osborn and his partner, Alan Stott. When Mike and Alan purchased Sosio’s seven years ago, they decided to keep the name in honor of the Manzo family.
Owners Mike Osborn (right) and Alan Stott of Sosio’s Produce are longtime supporters of the Market community and were one of the first Market “highstalls” to offer The Market Foundation’s EBT (food stamp) matching program, which allows EBT shoppers to double their purchasing power when buying fruits and vegetables.
Mike began his 43-year career in Pike Place Market at age 14, when his neighbor, Sol Amon, persuaded him to work as a clean-up boy for Pure Food Fish. After 18 years in retail fish, Mike accepted an offer from Sosio’s grandson, Dan Manzo, to come work at his produce stand. Dan quickly made Mike manager, and he has been running Sosio’s for nearly 25 years.
Mike has a simple management philosophy for Sosio’s. “My business philosophy is to try to be perfect in every way,” says Mike. “There is no way in this business that you are going to be perfect, but you won’t get close unless you try.” Perfection means Mike and Alan go to the warehouse at 6:00 AM every morning to pick out only the freshest fruits and vegetables. For seasonal produce, they deal directly with local farmers, many of whom they have known for years.
Mike typically works 70 hours a week at Sosio’s, and during the summer his daughter, Jackie, works alongside him. “There is a sense of community at the market that goes back generations,” says Mike. “My daughter has been working with me since she was 14 years old. I have customers who shopped with me when they were kids, and now their kids shop with me. I hire kids for Sosio’s who were in diapers when they first came to the Market.”
For Mike, the best part about owning Sosio’s is the opportunity to give back. “The Market has given me most of what I have in life,” says Mike. “It is nice to have the ability to pay something back.” Sosio’s is one of the largest suppliers of fresh produce to the Pike Market Food Bank. And, for the second year in a row, Mike has purchased four tables for The Market Foundation’s fundraiser, Sunset Supper at Pike Place Market, inviting 20 of his best customers to the gala dinner.
Mike is looking forward to talking with his customers about the new MarketFront expansion. “It will connect the Market to the waterfront, which is awesome,” says Mike. “But, for me, the best part of the expansion is the new low-income housing it will provide. The Market is all about helping people in our community. Most of my customers know that. And if they don’t, I make sure they know about all the social services the Market provides.”
Thank you, Sosio’s Produce, for supporting a thriving, caring community in Pike Place Market!
Volunteer Spotlight: The Kitchen Crew
Meet the Kitchen Crew, a volunteer group of Pike Place Market residents who prepare a free Market Meal once per month. Volunteers attend weekly classes in the Atrium Kitchen, a state-of-the-art demonstration kitchen located in the heart of Pike Place Market and use their new skills to prepare a monthly lunch for over 100 members of the Market community. Last year, the Kitchen Crew served 1,300 meals and contributed over 350 volunteer hours in the kitchen. The lunches feature healthy recipes and fresh, local ingredients sourced from Market farmers. Thank you, Kitchen Crew, for keeping our community healthy and nourished!
Last year, over 375 volunteers donated 4,400 hours of time and talent to our events and programs. This equals 121,176 in savings* for the Market community!
*Based on the Independent Sector’s estimated value of volunteer time at $27.54 per hour in Washington.
Pike Up!
And be part of the next chapter in Pike Place Market history: the new MarketFront
Founded in 1907 to serve as a center for commerce for a rapidly growing city, Seattle’s public market has been a reflection of our city’s community idealism and entrepreneurship for more than a century.
Today, Pike Place Market is growing with the MarketFront, the first significant expansion of the Market in 40 years. In reclaiming an underutilized parcel in the market historic district, we will fulfill a long-held vision of those who fought to save the Market in the 1960s and ‘70s, while creating a new chapter in the Market’s future.
On what was a surface parking lot framed by blackberry bushes, we are now building a waterfront-facing space built with Market spirit: a generous public plaza with views of the Sound and the Olympic Mountains, tables for farmers, craftspeople, and artists, a local brewery, and expanded retail space for artisan food makers. Included in the project are 300 covered parking spaces to serve Market and waterfront workers and visitors.
But that’s not all. The Market spirit also includes taking care of our community and our neighbors by providing more low-income housing units for seniors, building a Neighborhood Center with expanded social services and sponsoring public art for all to enjoy.
Beyond the Market, the MarketFront will create a robust connection between businesses along the Pike/Pine corridor and the central waterfront. Multiple pedestrian access points throughout the MarketFront will link key hubs such as ferry and cruise ship terminals with the downtown retail core and Westlake Center.
Funding for the $73 million expansion comes in part from government funds. Yet, the final piece of funding is up to you! Many local businesses and philanthropists have stepped forward to be part of the continuing legacy of Pike Place Market, including artists, residents, small businesses and the largest and most successful coffee company in the world.
Now is the once-in-lifetime opportunity to write your name into Market History with donations as low as $180. It takes a village to create the magic that is Pike Place Market. Join us and be part of the legacy: www.PikeUp.org.

A Heritage of Caring
Above: Joe & Pat Desimone hold a photo of Joe’s grandfather and namesake, who was one of the first farmers in Pike Place Market and became the Market’s President in 1941. Now, his family carries on the Desimone legacy by supporting a thriving, caring community in Pike Place Market.
After stowing away on a ship to America from his home town of Passo di Mirabella, Italy, a young teenager named Giuseppe “Joe” Desimone arrived in Seattle with just the clothes on his back. By living frugally, Joe saved his wages from working as a garbage man to purchase farmland in South Seattle, plot by plot, until he accumulated over 80 acres.
Joe began renting Pike Place Market’s most expensive food stalls, the high stalls, to sell his produce and in 1941 he became president and majority stockholder of Pike Place Market Properties. The Market community was especially close. Nearly everyone had grown up together and were friends. When a vendor fell on hard times, Joe and the Market community would come together and help out.
Today, it’s the Pike Place Market Foundation and all of the social service agencies in the Market that keep this tradition of a caring community alive. As the Market grows with the new MarketFront expansion, its tradition of caring will grow as well with additional housing for low-income seniors and added stalls for local farmers and artisans. “My grandfather and dad would see this expansion as the Market thriving and the Market community thriving. I know they would just love that,” says grandson Joe Desimone. Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, Joe and his wife Patricia Desimone are annual supporters of the Market Foundation and the new MarketFront expansion.
“They cared so much about people and their community,” said Joe. It all goes back to my grandparents cooking for friends, newcomers and workers. If you showed up at meal time, you would always get something to eat.”
Thank you to the Desimone family for supporting our Pike Place Market community!
