Happy 119th, Pike Place Market! 🐟💐 On this day in 1907, Pike Place opened for business. Since then, it’s been shaped by farmers, immigrants, fishmongers, buskers, preservationists and generations of Seattleites...and countless priceless memories. More photos: www.instagram.com/p/DcJistHG1s...

An early image of Pike Place Market photographed around 1907. Photo shows crowds, horses, and vendors along Pike Place looking north. Photo: Washington State Archives

Pike Place got its start in part due to sky high prices of fresh produce. For example, onions surged from 10 cents per pound to $1, adjusted in today’s dollar, going from $3.60 to $36 per pound! A vendor sells carrots and other produce in the early 1900s. Photo shows a woman inspecting onions and other vegetables. Photo: Washington State Archives

Immigrants have been the backbone of Pike Place Market. Sephardic Jews like Solomon Calvo, pictured left in this 1914 photo, provided many of the market’s seafood in the early days. Photo shows three men with crabs for sale; vintage signs are in the background advertising various seafood. Photo: University of Washington Libraries

In its early years, Pike Place was central for the public to make money orders, buy stamps and travelers checks, and use a telephone pay station. Photo taken in 1925. A woman peers through bars and a sign reads Parcel Post Here. Photo: Seattle Public Library
