We then walked towards Pike Place Market and took picture with this first Starbucks located at 1912 Pike Place! Yeah, Starbucks was founded here in Seattle in the year 1971. Hey, that was the year we were born!

We were extremely hungry by then and walked back towards Pike Market. It was a difficult walk due to empty tummy. Hah! Farah, who have been staying in Seatte for two years recommended this restaurant.

We made our way to Pike market again to buy fresh seafood. This fish market was known for yelling orders and artfully tossing fish from one another. I recalled watching the video about their success as a result of good teamwork and happy workplace in one of the Petronas workshop series.

We bought fresh crabs and prawns for $75 and Kandak bought salmon for $40. Pretty expensive huh? ... is it due to wild catch and the freshness?! or tourist trap?
