	Pike Place Public Market Historic District--Seattle, Washington: A National Register of Historic Places Travel Itinerary
		Prior to the arrival of grocery stores in the 1920s, many Americans purchased their produce in large open-air markets directly from farmers as a way to "beat the middleman."

		However, the post-war growth of car traffic and supermarkets caused Pike Place to decline throughout the 1940s and 1950s.

Throughout the 1970s, the area underwent restoration and revitalization as a "Keep the Market" campaign saved Pike Place from developers.
