PIKE PLACE

Pike Place Market is a public market overlooking the Elliott Bay waterfront in Seattle, Washington, United States. The Market opened August 17, 1907, and is one of the oldest continuously operated public farmers' markets in the United States. It is a place of business for many small farmers, craftspeople and merchants. Named after the central street, Pike Place runs northwest from Union Street to Virginia Street. With more than 10 million visitors annually, Pike Place Market is Seattle's most popular tourist destination and is the 33rd most visited tourist attraction in the world.[2]

The Market is built on the edge of a steep hill, and consists of several lower levels located below the main level. Each features a variety of unique shops such as antiquedealers, comic book and collectible shops, small family-owned restaurants, and one of the oldest head shops in Seattle. The upper street level contains fishmongers, fresh produce stands and craft stalls operating in the covered arcades. Local farmers and craftspeople sell year-round in the arcades from tables they rent from the Market on a daily basis, in accordance with the Market's mission and founding goal: allowing consumers to "Meet the Producer".Pike Place Market is home to nearly 500 residents who live in 8 different buildings throughout the Market. Most of these buildings have been low income housing in the past; however, some of them no longer are, such as the Livingston Baker apartments. The Market is run by the quasi-government Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (PDA).

Starbucks Corporation is an American coffee company and

coffeehouse chain. Starbucks was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1971. As of November 2016, it operates 23,768 locations worldwide.

Starbucks is considered the main representative of "second wave coffee", initially distinguishing itself from other coffee-serving venuesin the US by taste, quality, and customer experience while popularizing

darkly roasted coffee.

Since the 2000s, third wave coffee makers have targeted quality-

minded coffee drinkers with hand-made coffee based on lighter roasts, while Starbucks nowadays uses automated espresso machines for efficiency and safety reasons.

This article is about the coffeehouse chain.

PIKE PLACEROAST

From our first store in Seattle’s Pike Place Market to our coffeehouses around

the world, customers requested a freshly brewed coffee they could enjoy

throughout the day. So in 2008 our master blenders and roasters created it for

you, a blend so consistent and harmonious that no single characteristic

dominates -- or disappears. A smooth, well-rounded blend of Latin American

coffees with subtly rich flavors of cocoa and toasted nuts, it’s perfect for every

day.
