Celebrate the Market!

On May 18th, friends near and far came out to “Celebrate The Market!” and honor the community that makes Pike Place Market the Soul of Seattle! Thank you to our guests, community members, performers, vendors, and volunteers for helping raise $263,872 in support of Pike Place Market!

We are so grateful for the chance to gather together and celebrate the community members, service agencies, PDA staff, and partners who make this neighborhood the “Soul of Seattle”.

CONTRIBUTE TODAY

See who stepped up to the Red Carpet for an interview with Molly Shen from KOMO4 TV!

Despite the challenges the Market has experienced these past few years, we still have so much to celebrate and be thankful for… Watch our community impact videos:

Over 40 years, the Market Foundation has directly invested $40 million into this community and leveraged more than $148 million in additional taxpayer funding.

Pike Market Childcare and Preschool overcame the devastating impacts of COVID with the help of over $1 million in unrestricted annual funds and $106,000 in emergency funding from the Market Foundation.

This season, nearly every farmstand in the Market was able to invest in seeds and bulbs with the support of our Small Business Fund.

The Market Commons’ community-wide approach and funds from the Market Community Safety Net have kept people housed and financially stable in the face of inflation and rising costs.

… and so much more!

“Big letters and a clock

Usher the city inside

Whoever you are wherever you’re from

“Welcome home, you’re right on time”

Round the corner to sudden sun

Jazz

Tap dancing chatter (Pigtacular!)

White Heron Cellar

glass of wine

Gathering lessons of summer

Under sheltering arms of

Red umbrella picnic table

With rain I am familiar

With sun I’m out of practice

(I am learning)

There is so much that goes in to

Growing a single flower

This place is always taking care

This place was built to help

My preschool

My 5th pillar of hip hop

My open door

My Market Mother

Eat! There’s salmon and broccoli and strawberry balsamic crostini’s

Dream! Cat accordion

Golden pig bigger than I’ve ever seen gets it’s wings

Inspire! Feel the heat from that star?

What you give can matter to millions

What you give can matter for millions of miles

What you give can matter next door

In 3 minutes you’re not a stranger anymore

Celebrate! (Like it’s your birthday)

Be bells in the air

Be water and seed and weather brave farmer

Be bouquets of flowers on the table

Take the time

Take the effort

Be all of these lessons in summer”

-Passenger Poet (Audrey Kohler)
