Chinese Tourists At Pike Place Market | Monday, August 6, 2007

Kiki Yeung, International Examiner, interviews Chinese tourists from Beijing at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, WA.

From the founding of the Pike Place Market at the turn of the century until the start of World War II, Japanese American farmers constituted a large segment of the people who delivered and sold produce daily at the market. Through their efforts, the market grew, becoming the best place in Seattle to buy fresh, locally grown produce and farm products. Before World War II, farmers in the market numbered about 600; after the War their numbers dwindled to fewer than 50. The departure of the Japanese American farmers and the onset of the War contributed significantly to the steady decline and near destruction of the market in the early 1970s. - Pike Art Project
