| Description |
English: Before the Pike Place Market opened in 1907, King County farmers had a harder time making a steady income. They either had to sell their produce to wholesalers or travel to town to sell directly to hotels, restaurants, and residents. If no buyers were found, the fruits and vegetables were left to rot. The market gave farmers a permanent place to sell their produce directly to Seattle buyers.
In this photo, taken around 1911, farmers show off their fruits and vegetables to shoppers at the Pike Place Market. The area outside the farmers' market is crowded with crates and horse-drawn delivery wagons. The right side of the original glass negative was broken and lost.
