James ( in the brochure ) is really the guy you meet at the information booth and he will not only tell you about the market but he can tell you anything about Seattle! 🙂

Steps leading to the Pike Place Market Mascot, Rachel the Pig.  The steps have names of all the market donors who supports the Foundation.  Rachel the Pig is also a piggy bank and you can donate as well 🙂

I saw this truck with many fresh daffodils!!! BEAUTIFUL!  I suspect those are the daffodils for display in the market

Brunch at Art Restaurant, Four Seasons Hotel Seattle

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We were so hungry waiting for a late lunch, we decided to get a quick bite downstairs

We saw that the restaurant joined the Dine Around Seattle

so we chose the US$ 15.00 lunch which cost even cheaper than one dish on the menu

Wow!  Good value or money meal 🙂 James and I just split this and we were still okay for our lunch at 130pm

Beecher’s at Pike Place Market, Seattle

By | Cheese, Travel | No Comments

My most favorite place in Pike Place Market!!!! I’ve always wanted to have my own cheese shop!!!

Love these cheeseplates made out of recycled wine bottles!! 

beechers-09.jpgbeechers-010.jpgbeechers-011.jpgbeechers-017.jpg

We tried the famous Mac and Cheese

beechers-03.jpgbeechers-034.jpg

Made with real cheese!!  I suggest you wait for it to cool down a bit rather than eat it straight from the chafing dish when it’s really hot.  Let it cool down so the cheese is not too watery

beechers-035.jpgbeechers-024.jpg

There is a seating area where you can watch them make some cheese while you eat the yummy mac and cheese 🙂

Curds!! James doesn’t like cheese as much as I do, but he seemed to be going back and forth for tasting
