Pike Place Market is ranked as the most overrated tourist attraction in Washington, but KIRO Newsradio hosts disagree.

“I love Pike Place Market. In fact, that was a regular thing for me when I first moved here,” said Angela Poe-Russell filling in for Ursula Reutin. “I would go to Pike Place Market I mean once a month and just discover new places and I just love it.” is one of the oldest and largest continuously operating public markets in the United States and includes hundreds of farmers, crafters, small businesses, and residents.

The ranking was from USA Today. In July 2023, it analyzed 23 million Google reviews of the 500 most popular tourist attractions in the world, spanning 65 countries in six continents. For each attraction, it asked a simple question: How frequently do the reviews mention the terms “tourist trap,” “overrated” or “expensive”?“I will say they’re not all the way wrong,” Poe-Russell said. “I love our Space Needle. But it is a trap. And it’s overpriced.” Most tickets are priced at about $35.
