An artist's guide of music & culture in Pike Place Market

I’m thrilled to invite you on my cultural tour of Pike Place Market! While many visitors flock to see the flying fish, locals and I cherish the market for its unique creative spirit and deep-rooted connection to Seattle's vibrant art and music scene. Come join me, a lifelong performing artist who practically grew up in this iconic market, for an intimate experience that weaves together music, art, and personal storytelling. • After meeting up at the famous wishing pig, we'll visit the mural featuring legendary artists like Artis the Spoonman and my father, Ron Bailey. I've got the inside scoop on the unique history and incredible stories that I'm so excited to share! You'll also get to hear about and from the local makers and artists whose booths fill the market. • I’ll take you to all the spots where buskers bring art to life, with incredible performers that do everything from playing upright pianos to juggling knives while spinning hoops. Don’t forget to bring some dollar bills if you'd like to tip this world class talent! • After sampling snacks from some of my favorite vendors, we’ll wrap up our tour at the stunning new rooftop garden, which has breathtaking views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. You’ll discover corners of Pike Place Market that few visitors experience, and you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for what makes this place so special!

Mediodía y atardecer en velero por el bello estrecho de Puget

There is a sense of magic in setting your sails, allowing the wind to carry you across water. I will gently encourage everyone to take a turn steering the boat, to feel the uniting force of wind and water. After all these years, I still find it enchanting. We will leave the dock at Shilshole Bay Marina, motor out past the city’s famed Golden Gardens Park, watch for sea lions loafing on the Meadow Point buoy, and then set sail, heading West across Puget Sound toward the magnificent Olympic Mountains. Along the way we will watch for orcas, schools of Dahl’s porpoises, sea lions, harbor seals, jumping salmon, bald eagles, great blue herons, cormorants, diving gulls, and other wildlife. On the Sunset Cruise we will keep a careful watch as the sun sets behind the Olympic Mountains, for the resulting lightshow is something you will want to capture on camera. As the sun drops behind the well-named Mount Olympus and other peaks in the range, it often illuminates the feathery horizon clouds into glorious colors. Join the Fun: Please don’t be shy about joining a cruise that already shows guests booked. It is always special when guests from different cities, states … and countries … come together to share this inspiring experience. Whichever voyage you choose -- Morning, Afternoon, or Sunset -- it is always magical to fill the sails on the beautiful waters of Puget Sound.
