This postcard shows what Pike Place Market looked like back in the day.

Recognize this scene? On August 17, 1907, a group of farmers met with their produce wagons at Pike Place & sold out of their goods by lunch time, setting the stage for the market we know today. Happy 115th birthday @pike_place! This postcard shows an early market scene.
Black and white photo of farmers with their carts. There is a large crowd of people buying products directly from the farmers. 
In the early 1900's, thousands of farmers, including many Italian, German, Chinese, Japanese and Filipinos supplied produce to the city from far and wide. The public market at Pike Place was revolutionary in changing the previous system requiring farmers to sell their produce through a middleman who then charged shoppers greatly inflated prices. The market was so popular on its first day that farmers could not meet the demands of the crowds of gathered shoppers and quickly sold out.

Seattle’s Pike Place Market opened #OnThisDay, August 17, 1907. The market was a jumble of farm carts, produce and shoppers until 1911 when farmers were allowed to set up stalls, which they rented for 20 cents a day. #PikePlaceMarket #seattlehistory @pike_place

Happy Birthday to Pike Place Market! 🎂 115 years ago, a handful of farmers set up along Pike Place. By lunchtime, eager shoppers had purchased everything! Today, we're one of the oldest and largest continuously operating public markets in the United States! #PikePlaceMarket
