AAG Field Trips

Pike Place Market Walking Fieldtrip
Wednesday, April 13, 11:00am – 1:00pm
Organizer/Leader: Bill Beyers, University of Washington
Trip Capacity: 35
Cost/person: $5

The Pike Place Market is located just six blocks west of the Seattle Convention Center. This is one of the largest farmer’s markets in the U.S., but it is much more than a farmer’s market. It is a seven acre City of Seattle Historical District with a wide variety of shops, connectors to the Seattle waterfront, and housing for high and low income people. It is the home of the original Starbuck’s coffee shop, and includes everything from the famous Gum Wall to fish merchants throwing whole salmon around. This field trip will include a walk through the market, as well as a discussion of the history of this Seattle institution.

You may even have the pleasure of a fish whizzing by your head at top speed.

If you are one of those lucky folks with an extra day on your hands, there are quite a few field trips scheduled during the week of AAG that are not to be missed!

Live entertainment features Sanford Markley:
Drawing from a wealth of Sanford's compelling original songs, his engaging stage presence and soaring vocals have been captivating audiences for nearly two decades. When their voices merge, their tight harmonies have a way of making songs seem both personal and anthemic. Sanford's deft guitar work creates a third voice - percussive and vibrant. His unique style displays cascading counter melodies, warm tones which rise, fall, swell and surge between the notes and chords of the vocals.
