Whereas Pike Place was originally a seafood and vegetable market, the shops outside are modern.
Prominent among these is the Milagros Mexican Folk Art.
The storefront shows the accessible entrance, a glass facade that reveals the interiors and the vibes inside, and that the shop is crammed with various objects of Mexican folk art.
They also have their phone number painted on the glass.
Pirkko. Finland also has an uncluttered storefront with glass facades, revealing the warm interiors and a lot of the clothing on sale.
The entrance is neatly leveled with the sidewalk providing accessibility for a wheelchair if required.
Their website address is also painted on the storefront.
The Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was all open doors when I visited here in June 2023.
This storefront is also neat and uncluttered with glass facings that show the seating arrangement inside, the cash counter, and the menu.
J&J Gifts and Sportwear also has a recessed storefront, and very little to comment about.
Their best costumes on sale are displayed on the glass fronts.
Some notice about Seattle Hoodies is seen beside the credit cards they accept.

Bergman Luggage is an old shop, that unfortunately, is closed now but still retains the amazing public corner clock at the intersection of 3rd Avenue and Stewart Street.
The store is so huge that to capture their storefront I stood across the street.
The Seattle Shirt Company is a corner store having their offers of 2 for $14 rate displayed prominently on the storefront.
They sell 100% white cotton shirts too.
The storefront also has an offer to print customized jerseys.
Besides that, there is also a machine to make customized pennies.
This machine accepts 25 cents called a Penny as a fee and upon rotating the crank with the handle, the machine embosses a design or logo on a Nickel coin which is equal to 1 cent, Locals also habitually called it a Nikol. It is made of copper and appears reddish brown.
The store is neatly leveled with the sidewalk providing wheelchair accessibility.
I found the storefront of Buckley’s in Belltown particularly interesting for its pair of lions.
This is fast becoming a lost passion and art of erecting human, animal, or abstract concrete or metal figures at the entrance.
Buckley’s is one of those last surviving.
The shops outside the Pike Place Market are truly a paradise to try so many different things in one place.
