Pike Place Market

The main part of the market is busy with tourists even on a February weekday afternoon, though they're mostly congregated around the fish market watching the fishmongers toss salmon to each other. The rabbit warren of lower levels of shops and the steep staircases between Pike Place and Western Avenue is much quieter – with the exception of the Gum Wall, which is truly horrible and yet inexplicably popular.
