Historical Note
The Seattle City Council passed Council Member Thomas Revelle's ordinance to create a public farmers market on Pike Place on August 5, 1907. By 1911, demand for the Market had grown so much that the number of available stalls had doubled, and extended north from Pike Street to Stewart Street, doubling in size since the opening of the Main Arcade. That same year the Seattle City Council created the jobs of Market Inspector (later changed to Market Master), Assistant Market Inspector, and Janitor in addition to passing an ordinance (No. 27700) prescribing rules and regulations to market place use in the City of Seattle.
