Celebrating 40 years of community!

Thank you to everyone who has joined us in this season of celebration, as we recognize 40 years of the Pike Place Market Foundation and $40 million invested in the Market community! We express gratitude to all of you, for being on this journey with us.

From the very beginning, the Market Foundation has been guided by our model for a healthy community and a commitment to close collaboration with our social service partners. By listening to the emerging needs of our community and working with other agencies to build comprehensive wrap-around support for our neighborhood, we are helping nurture a healthy Market community where everyone can live their best life possible. Four decades later, we are thrilled to be celebrating and recommitting our support to this neighborhood.

Now, we need your help to help keep the Market strong now and for the next 40 years to come! Will you donate today to help support our neighbors who work, learn and live in and around the Market?

“Pigs on Parade” Pageant

On Saturday October 29, 40 “Pigs on Parade” returned home to Pike Place Market! Thank you to everyone who helped celebrate our 40th Birthday and watched the pigs “hog” the Market cobblestones. It was so special to hear your fond memories of these porcine pals, and make some new ones. The winner of the pageant was Las Flores, who raised $11,277 for the Market Foundation!

We also want to give a SNOUT-out to the three pigs who received the most total votes: Swine Street Express, Homer the Trojan Pig, and Pork N’Beans!

In total, we raised $101,445 for the Market community! Thank you for your support!
