Pike Place Market Sign

The Pike Place Market has been a major draw for Seattleites and visitors since 1907! While it may be hard to believe the famous clock and sign have not always been there. The market was open for 30 years before the clock and sign were erected in 1937 and now we cannot imagine the market without it. Restoring the clock and sign is not a simple project. The sign is three stories tall, with fragile neon lights, and a challenging position. When you are trying to preserve the look of the sign and its intricate markings you need it done by hand. From the street the details don’t look like much but up close you can really appreciate them. This is not just another paint job! Fully restored the sign and clock will impress for many more years. Head down to the Market sometime soon and take a fresh look!
