Pike Place Chowder
Tucked away in Post Alley at Pike Place Market, this award-winning chowder spot draws daily crowds of tourists and locals alike.
Located in Post Alley within Pike Place Market, this small eatery is legendary for its seafood chowders. The classic New England Clam Chowder, Smoked Salmon Chowder, and Seared Scallop Chowder are the most popular choices, which can be served in sourdough bread bowls or ordered as a four-flavor sampler. Crab and lobster rolls are also available. The line is long but moves quickly, though it is best to arrive early to beat the lunch rush. The market location offers outdoor seating, but online orders do not guarantee a table. Cups run about $10–$13, while bread bowls and rolls cost around $17–$25. Within walking distance of downtown, it is about a 10-minute walk from the Westlake light rail station.
