<p>Seattle's Pike Place Market began as a jumble of farm carts, produce, and shoppers on Western Avenue. Starting in 1911, farmers could set up stalls in the city's new covered arcade. The "dry row" of stalls was inside the arcade, and the "wet" stalls were outside. All stalls rented for 20 cents a day.
This photo, taken around 1911, shows shoppers and farmers at the new Pike Place Market arcade.</p>
