Power of Pike Place

Power of Pike Place is the Pike Place Market Foundation’s COVID-19 Response & Recovery campaign.

Our goal is to raise at least $3.5 million this year to triple our investment in the social services, small businesses and the people who make Pike Place Market, all of whom need help in this national health crisis.

Power of Pike Place is about the strength of Pike Place Market:

Power of Pike Place is the diversity of the mission – a place for farmers, for small businesses and for everyone living and working around Pike Place Market. Learn more about our values in our official Pike Place Charter.

Power of Pike Place is the people of the Market: from the flower farmers to the fish mongers, the senior residents, preschoolers and YOU, our loyal shoppers, donors and advocates. Everyone is an important part of the fabric of this community. Read some of our most impactful Market Stories.

Power of Pike Place is the local economy that is fueled by Pike Place Market. With more than 15 million visitors a year, the Market is the #1 destination in the Pacific Northwest. Our vibrant neighborhood is home to 500+ local, independent businesses that thrive in the heart of downtown Seattle, as well as a vast network of vital housing and social services that more than 11,000 of our neighbors rely on every day for health care, food and community support.

Power of Pike Place is the model for a healthy community that we’ve honed for 50 years and counting. We see the need for this public health model now, more than ever. Learn more about our model for a health community

The Pike Place Market Foundation’s Response to COVID-19

Our community partners at the Pike Place Market medical clinic, food bank, senior housing and assisted living continue to serve thousands of our neighbors on the frontline. Our team at the Pike Place Market Foundation is dedicated to providing long-term, consist funding to support our partner organizations year over year. Learn more about how we’re adapting quickly to the many needs of the Market community in this health crisis.

Thanks to the support of more than 4,000 donors last year, we are proud to announce our investment today of $1.4 million in unrestricted grants and funds to support vital services in the Market this year. These funds will go far to support our partner social service agencies and COVID- 19 community initiatives.

OUR SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY FUND PLAN

COVID-19 has had a significant and heartbreaking effect on our vibrant Pike Place Market neighborhood that’s made up of thousands of farmers, craftspeople, artisans, small businesses and senior residents.

Sadly, more than 90% of the 500 businesses in the Market were forced to initially close as a result of the pandemic, resulting in the vast majority of workers suffering the immediate loss of jobs and income.

A new Pike Place Market Small Business Recovery Fund will provide quick, flexible and critical gap funding to bring the Market back to its vibrancy. It will also create a path to long-term support as our businesses transition to new economic conditions and develop new strategies for business development.

The Market is a community and this Recovery Fund is an essential tool in our rebuilding efforts that will greatly impact businesses, workers and the economic recovery of our entire region.
