 HistoryLink Essay: Pike Place Market (Seattle) -- Thumbnail History
In September 1964, Ashley and Steinbrueck invited 60 sympathizers to a champagne breakfast at Lowell's Cafe in the Market to defend what architect Fred Bassetti called "an honest place in a phony time." The new group called itself "Friends of the Market" and sold books, buttons, and shopping bags to raise funds.
Steinbrueck then engineered a masterstroke of creative "obstructionism" when he convinced Washington's new Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, created by the 1966 National Historic Preservation Act, to approve a 17-acre Pike Place Market Historic District that would block use of federal funds for demolition.
The establishment counterattacked by persuading the Advisory Council to shrink the District to a mere 1.7 acres.
