This book recounts the history of the Pike Place Market, Seattle's favorite institution. It is the story of the reformers who conceived of the Market, the entrepreneurs and populists who brought it into being, the truck farmers who brought their produce and their hopes, the people of Seattle who came to think of the Market as their birthright, and the recurring battles to keep progress from paving and reshaping it.
