PIKE PLACE MARKET VICTOR STEINBRUECK PARK
Western Ave & Virginia St Seattle
When you've had enough of the market and its crowds, wander out the end of the
North Arcade and cross Western Ave to Victor Steinbrueck Park, a grassy area
designed in 1982 by Steinbrueck and Richard Haag.
 Getting
there
From the Westlake Center, take a pleasant 10-minute walk west along Pike Street
to the entrance of Pike Place Market. The street becomes "Pike Place" and turns
right. Continue along Pike Place past the produce market and outdoor stalls and
you will see this oasis of green (and blue on a sunny day) to your left.
The park sits along side Western Avenue and overlooks Elliott Bay. Victor
Steinbrueck Park offers 160º views over the port of Seattle and Elliott Bay -
from Mount Rainier to the south, to the Olympic Mountains stretching around to
the north.
Popular with tourists and locals alike, you are bound to find the park "littered
with bodies" in good weather. You probably will want to make a visit to the park
a part of your itinerary for exploring downtown Seattle.
The park is a great spot for a picnic lunch, even with the roar of traffic
coming up from the Alaskan Way Viaduct. Some seating is covered. Be prepared to
share picnic tables and benches with all types of folks. In the spring and
summer you might even encounter live jazz and other music performances.
There are restrooms at the Pike Place Market.
You'll find benches, a couple
of totem poles designed by Quinault tribe member Marvin Oliver, a few shuffling
vagrants and great views over the Waterfront and Elliott Bay. Rallies and
political demonstrations are often held here.
