Loving my monthly “fix” of walking Pike Place Market. I have visited Seattle four times since my daughter moved there in 2017. Have hopes to move there myself someday. I enjoy all of your videos, they provide a nice overview of the city as well as the surrounding area. Have you thought about branching out further, taking the ferry to Bainbridge or even a few days out to the Olympic Peninsula? I hope to run into you sometime when I am out there. Take care.

Watched the whole video from start til end Mr Dennis, plus two cups of coffee. Enjoy the extended time vids so much. Sorry I was a day late watching. New ideas for the new year, hmmm, maybe a good cup of coffee and a ferry ride possibly? If they even allow you to video on the ferry. I haven't been on one in like three years,alot of change in three years because of the.. well you know. Lowell's has a great breakfast, always pronounced it in just one syllable. In closing, the unedited versions are the best, reality is reality. Take care Mr Dennis,many blessings to you sir.

What a good guide you are! All of these familiar scenes, a different part of my life, and I was a different person then... it's nice to have a reminder that we change and grow.

always love your commentary

I remember the market back in 70 and 71 I used to go to the lower levels🎉

Dennis I am one of your "regulars" lol, have been watching for the past year or so. I am hoping in the future you will have some weekend time to maybe visit some of the Islands, Vashon, Whidbey, San Juan, Orcas or Lopez. Any of them would be great to see. Thanks for your great videos, always so perfectly shot and your voice is calming to my ears.

I chose to save Pike Market on my last day of vacation. It rained so hard! something about a bomb cyclone in the pacific. Wish the weather would have been like this!

I love your walks. I miss that market so much I do have a question though. Is there still a tea house attached to Pikes Market?? I remember sitting down and having a wonderful tea ceremony where they rinse the tea and all the teas are in large jars on the walls. It has been a good 4 years I believe since I went there and forgot what it is called so I thought I would ask the pro!!

I watched the whole thing! My sissies and I went here on my birthday (December 22nd) and we didn’t even scratch the surface!!! We gotta go back and actually spend a whole day there. This is to Seattle what Times Square is to Manhattan or the French quarter to New Orleans!!! I’d love to see you do an in depth video of the waterfront, BUT!!! (Haha I said butt…) I would want to see it after the proposed builds are done! They’re supposed to get an area with some slides near the market on the walk down, but they’re also supposed to have an entire playground next to the wheel! Cannot waaaaaaaait to see that! You’re right tho man there should be a lot of fun in life!!!

As a local, this is a slow day/time at The Market ! On a sunny summer weekend, the street is so full of people cars can't get down it. Great for people watchers !

Tip for wearing a mask with glasses: Set your glasses over the top of the mask. This will hold it flat over the bridge of the nose so your glasses don't fog up.

LOVE watching your videos of my Hometown! I seem to still be able to do so without getting too Homesick as I now reside in Central California now due to job reasons! At the location of that Target near the Market, I still remember going to the Kress Dime Store with my Mom when I was a kid and just East of that was the old Woolworth Store! Does that date me? I lived in Seattle from 1956 -1978!

Ballard is one of the more expensive neighborhoods, along with Fremont, Magnolia, Madison Valley and Capital Hill. If you're looking for a more affordable neighborhood, look in South Seattle. It's much more affordable and you can step on the Light Rail and be in downtown or Capital Hill in less than 20 minutes.

I’ll have to go Seattle and walk around someday but not if mask wearing is a requirement. Seattle has enough clean air not to have to do that, I’ll go and drive around first and check it out, perhaps some time this week. I like your video’s though, they bring back lots of memories from the good old days, thanks.

Check your analytics it should inform how much of your audience watches the whole video, or click away etc. and that feedback loop will help tune your videos to the best durations / attention spans etc.
