The New York Times - Building on Seattle’s history of farmers’ markets and a strong food culture, new marketplaces are showcasing the local and unique, offering many choices for shopping, eating and connecting. For residents and tourists alike, these vibrant markets have become destinations all their own.  

The continued influx of high-tech workers and foot traffic has helped pave the way for the urban marketplaces, which are finding success by offering food and goods in one place.  

Just east of downtown in the cool Capitol Hill neighborhood, preservation-minded developers transformed century-old auto parts buildings with old-meets-new design. These spaces, with their original facades, house restaurants and shops that buzz from morning to night with diners who might grab the kitchen’s signature spice rub or house-made jam on the way out.
