This is fantastic news - nothing but good wishes for the new owners. Let’s make sure that those that can, support this Seattle institution.

@2 Let me suggest where you can stick your ‘handle’.

I hope it goes well for them. Outside of the cruise ship season, the foot traffic through the market was getting pretty sparse. And that was basically just tourists taking selfies in front of the market sign and buying Seattle t-shirts. They don't buy much fresh food.

The market is going to increasingly have to rely on the neighborhood bar and restaurant business.
