At the heart of Seattle, Downtown is the ultimate location for shopping, exploring the arts, and dining at some of the city’s best restaurants. Thanks to a vibrant business district and block after block of big name stores to small boutiques, many seattleites can find everything they need in a few block radius. With many condo-dwellers calling downtown home, they can pick up the freshest of produce at the Pike Place Market, eat a fabulous restaurant, and see a show.. all in their own neighborhood.

You can visit downtown for the day or spend a lifetime, and still not sample all that the Downtown area has to offer!

Pike Place Market Foundation

The Market Foundation was established in 1982 to support the Market’s services for low-income people, including the Pike Market Medical Clinic, the Pike Market Senior Center, the Pike Market Child Care & Preschool and the Downtown Food Bank. Thanks to the continued support of our donors, the Market Foundation can help fund these human-service agencies and keep the Market community strong.

The annual Pike Place Market Foundation Giving Trees are decorated with holiday wishes from low-income adults and seniors who reside in the Market’s subsidized apartment homes, from low-income families with a child attending the Preschool, low-income members of the Senior Center and clients of the Medical Clinic and Downtown Food Bank.

You can help brighten the New Year for our low-income neighbors in the Market community by visiting one of the two trees ~ located in the Economy Building Atrium (main entrance on 1st just south of Pike Street) and in the DownUnder Market (near Hands of the World) and selecting one or two of the modest wishes.   Log on to www.pikeplacemarket.org for directions to the Pike Place Market.

Can’t make it to the Market to select a wish?  Visit our Virtual Tree at www.pikeplacemarketfoundation.org.  Once you’ve selected a gift email us at mktfoundation@pikeplacemarket.org to let us know your choice (that way we can remove the wish from the list) then have fun shopping and wrapping your gift.  We have five convenient gift drop-off locations in the Market. 

The Market Foundation supports the Pike Market Childcare and Preschool, Pike Market Senior Center, Downtown Food Bank, The Pike Market Medical Clinic, low-income Market and Heritage House at the Market residents.  For more information about the annual Giving Trees or the Market Foundation visit www.pikeplacemarketfoundation.org
