Daffodil Day<br />
We’ve just about made it! Spring is about to pounce and the flowers are here. . . Which is more than reason enough to celebrate!!<br />
Here Joshua Craft, of Alm Hill farm, offers beautiful, bountiful bunches of farm fresh flowers, including delightful daffodils, the flower of the month.<br />
The sixteenth annual Daffodil Day is Wednesday, <strong>March</strong> 20, in which smiling <strong>Market</strong> folks hand out 10,000 daffodils on many downtown street<br />
Enter the Curious Creamery World<br />
BY TERRY BRANKEY<br />
Step into the <strong>Pike</strong> <strong>Place</strong> <strong>Market</strong> Creamery with me to experience<br />
its magic and wonder.<br />
You are welcome to pick up an egg carton and explore the<br />
excitement and beauty of picking out your own eggs. This is a<br />
great place to get Easter eggs. Would you like brown ones, white<br />
ones or a variety?<br />
Do you see those tiny brown-and-cream speckled eggs? Do<br />
you know what they are? They are quail eggs.<br />
By contrast, there are great big leathery dark teal eggs. They<br />
come from an emu. Emus only lay their<br />
eggs in the cold months of the year, and<br />
although Nancy Nipples, the owner of the<br />
<strong>Pike</strong> <strong>Place</strong> <strong>Market</strong> Creamery, carries emu<br />
egg shells all year round, emu eggs can only<br />
be bought in the month of January.<br />
And, then, there are the giant ostrich egg shells.<br />
Both emu and ostrich egg shells are very special.<br />
People come to buy the shells to create<br />
beautiful artwork. They glue satin and jewels<br />
on the shells to make wedding gifts, and apply<br />
decoupage to create beautiful lamps.<br />
Or, for a special treat and surprise, how<br />
about some duck eggs? They come in pastel<br />
colors of green and white. You can have<br />
Easter eggs any day of the year.<br />
I think Nancy’s theme song is “How can I serve<br />
you with love?” She is so accommodating, even<br />
offering to sell just one egg if that is all a person<br />
wants.<br />
Or, if you choose three or four to make your<br />
favorite omelette or cake, that is fine with<br />
Nancy. And, for people who are allergic to<br />
chicken eggs, she offers duck eggs with their<br />
high orange yokes. Duck eggs have a lovely<br />

COURTESY OF THE PRESERVATION & DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY [PDA]<br />
The Former Municipal <strong>Market</strong>, on the west-side<br />
of Western Avenue, is to be redeveloped<br />
The removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the development<br />
of the Central Waterfront are providing a unique opportunity<br />
for the PDA to reclaim an “under-utilized parcel of land<br />

corners (grown by <strong>Market</strong> farmers), rain or shine.<br />
Greeting pedestrians (and the occasional driver) with daffodils and a<br />
friendly, “Happy first day of spring from the <strong>Pike</strong> <strong>Place</strong> <strong>Market</strong>.”<br />
What’s Next for the PC-1 N Project<br />
within the Historic District and create<br />
a dynamic connection between<br />
downtown and the new Waterfront.”<br />
The project will develop a .75 acre<br />
site along Western Avenue currently<br />
referred to as PC-1 North and long<br />
used as a surface parking lot.<br />
The low-rise, mixed-use development<br />
will provide parking for both<br />
the <strong>Market</strong> and the Waterfront, added<br />
retail and restaurant space, and<br />
several stories of low-income and<br />
artist housing as well as expanded facilities<br />
for the <strong>Market</strong>’s social service<br />
agencies. The new PC-1 North site<br />
will also provide additional public<br />
open space and expansive views of<br />
Puget Sound while connecting the<br />
<strong>Market</strong> to the Waterfront with easy<br />
pedestrian access.<br />
In the last days of February, the Seattle<br />
City Council approved Council<br />
Bill 117699, an agreement authorizing<br />
the execution of an Memorandum<br />
of Understanding (MOU)<br />
between the City and the PDA, outlining<br />
the next steps for development<br />

<strong>March</strong> 12, the <strong>Market</strong> Foundation invites<br />
one and all to join them in making<br />

<strong>Market</strong> Medical Clinic, Preschool, Senior<br />
Center and Food Bank.<br />
There is a $150 suggested minimum<br />
donation at the event. Corporate sponsors<br />
generously cover all event expenses,<br />
allowing funds donated at the luncheon<br />
to go directly to support the vital services<br />
of the <strong>Market</strong>’s clinic, senior center, preschool<br />
and food bank. Hosted by the <strong>Pike</strong><br />
<strong>Place</strong> <strong>Market</strong> Foundation, at the Sheraton<br />
Seattle Hotel’s Metropolitan Ballroom.<br />
Registration begins at 11:30, and the<br />

Much of the current scuttlebutt<br />
seems to be about the PC1-North<br />
project. People are excited about the<br />
prospect of more parking and new<br />
spaces, etc., but there is some worry<br />
about the due west association of<br />
the proposed buildings.<br />
Yeah, we love the afternoon sun, but<br />
it becomes an obstacle when reflected<br />
off of the water and into the windows,<br />
all day long, many months of the year,<br />
even when overcast. It creates issues<br />
for vendors, especially ones selling<br />
perishable farm goods, or ones with<br />
sensitivity to light, etc. Looking at existing<br />
windows facing west many are<br />
covered, even with the amazing view.<br />

LOCAL HISTORY<br />
BTW: <strong>March</strong> 1 is National Pig Day!<br />
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis were<br />
spotted Seattle-ing, including the<br />
<strong>Market</strong> and came back, popping in to<br />
Leroy’s, on <strong>Pike</strong>, for sweet new threads<br />
en route to Australia.<br />
Just as we went to<br />
press a <strong>Market</strong>-y<br />
strange scenario occurred:<br />
in the North<br />
Arcade, of course.<br />
A thief was seen<br />
swiping a Japanese<br />
tourist’s wallet and<br />
phone as she bent<br />
to take a photo. A<br />
Craftsperson saw this and started<br />
to chase him, around The Bridge<br />
and down the stairs. He threw a<br />
garbage can which landed on his<br />
head, slowing him down. By this<br />
time several Crafters gave chase,<br />
the first chaser recovered the phone<br />
and wallet. By the end of the chase,<br />
along the Waterfront they caught<br />
him and SPD turned-up. We heard<br />
they found and extensive amont of<br />
similar stolen goods on his person<br />
What did YOU see? We wanna<br />
hear! (Even if it is unprintable!!)<br />

Morill, geographers at UW, who<br />
enlisted 39 students and colleagues to<br />
write short pieces on their academic<br />
specialties, with the focus on Seattle.<br />
The project was conceived in a traditional<br />
Seattle location: the Roanoke<br />
Tavern on Capitol Hill.<br />
Not only did this remarkable book<br />
verify the statement-- Yes, more than<br />
a third of Seattleites arrived here less<br />
than seven years ago-- but it details<br />
in charts and maps where they came<br />
from, where they live now, and what<br />
schools their children attend (75%<br />
public, 25% private).<br />
These numbers are compared with<br />
adjacent cities and national data. These<br />
geographers demonstrate Seattle demography<br />
and examine the composition<br />
of Seattle’s ‘diverse’ population.<br />
Seattle Geographies also has short<br />
insightful capsules on recent local<br />
history, such as gentrification of<br />
neighborhoods, the Mark Sidran ‘civility<br />
laws’, and an excellent review of<br />
the 1999 WTO participants, actions,<br />
and world-wide effects. These geographers<br />
are also great photographers -<br />
the photos are wonderful even if you<br />
think you’ve seen them all by now.<br />
It is not only new arrivees who need<br />
answers, because some people have<br />
lived in Seattle for decades and are<br />
not aware of how things came about.<br />
Skid Road, by Murray Morgan, a<br />
1951 centennial history of Seattle<br />
is probably the best read and most<br />
loved story on origins and growth<br />
here in the Northwest. Now familiar<br />
street names have enriched meaning<br />
when the stories of pioneer families<br />
are linked to them.<br />
Seattle has a street grid, more or less.<br />
Some of the towns annexed around<br />
the first of last century like Ballard,<br />
Georgetown, and Columbia City had<br />
been consistent in platting their communities<br />
and Seattle incorporated<br />
these established street designs. The<br />
connections often make little geographic<br />
or logical sense; however, the<br />
annexations explain why.<br />
Morgan answers and enriches the<br />
stories of such oddities as downtown’s<br />
cut-up, angled and dead end<br />
streets.<br />
In 1852, “Doc” Maynard was appointed<br />
clerk of the city, one job of<br />
which was to plat the streets of the<br />
new town. Since he owned several<br />
acres south of Mill Street (now Yesler<br />
Way), and had designed his streets<br />
to parallel the waterfront curve,<br />
he wanted to extend them in a line<br />
closer to true North. (The waterfront<br />
profile was much different from the<br />
one we walk along now.)<br />
The Denny and Boren families<br />
owned much of the land north of<br />
Mill St. and wanted the streets to run<br />
perpendicular to the waterfront.<br />
Both drew up their plats and headed<br />
to the territory court house. But Denny,<br />
the farmer and early riser, beat<br />
Maynard the drinker, by a few hours.<br />
The Denny/Boren plat survived. Later,<br />
when Queen Anne Hill was platted,<br />
it moved at a less severe angle<br />
north from Denny Way. Thus our<br />
downtown street patterns were set, to<br />
be altered again by a waterfront viaduct<br />
in the 1950s and I-5 in the 1960s.<br />
Roger Sale’s, Seattle, Past to Present,<br />
which goes from Seattle’s origins<br />
as Duwamps in 1851 to the revival<br />
of Pioneer Square in 1975. Morgan’s<br />
and Sales’s books should be in every<br />
home library in Seattle, no matter<br />
how long you’ve been here. Morgan<br />
leads his narrative, Skid Road, with<br />
people, character, and conflict; while,<br />
Sale, as befits a professor of comparative<br />
literature, drives his story<br />
with ideas and intellectual and social<br />
movements. Yet both books are page<br />
turners and absolute required primary<br />
texts to answer the question:<br />
How did Seattle become what it is?<br />
Both writers excel in telling the story<br />
of the years before and after the<br />
First World War.<br />
Sale writes of Anna Louise Strong,<br />
George Vanderveer, Harvey<br />
O’Connor, and Sam and Kate Sandler:<br />
The outline of each story is the same:<br />
and idealism and enthusiasm for Seattle<br />
and for America feeling itself<br />
forced left in the face of the freezing<br />
of economic power of the wealthy and<br />
the fragmentation of the middle-class<br />
urban populist politics into moral<br />
zealots, patriots, and quietism.<br />
From the 1917 Everett Massacre,<br />
to the General Strike of 1919, both<br />
writers chronicle the ferment, struggles,<br />
and strikes led by what the establishment<br />
newspapers called, “leftist<br />
ideologies”. This political tilt continued<br />
during union boss Dave Beck’s<br />
rise to power and continued into the<br />
Depression, when FDR’s Postmaster<br />
General, James Farley, declared,<br />
“there are 47 states and the Soviet of<br />

Washington”. That left-leaning tendency in Seattle continues to this day with the political<br />
divide at the crest of the Cascade Mountains.<br />
These books tell the tale of Seattle from the start to the middle of last week. Seattle Geographies is a<br />
rich lode of data, charts, maps, and amazing comparisons. It gets under the skin of the Emerald City.<br />
Morgan’s Skid Road is about the hard times of the pioneers and the lives they lived building<br />
a city. He records all the electoral brawls and bar fights, the high-life and low, and records<br />
the rise of organized labor from its IWW and socialist origins. Seattle’s location, harbor and<br />
natural resources favored the heavy manufacturing that pulled the city into the front rank<br />
of Western cities.<br />
Seattle, Past to Present by Roger Sale does more thinking about the meaning of Seattle’s<br />
growth and compares it with national trends. He sets the city in its unique place in modern<br />
America while recording its distinct Northwest personality in a vibrant history.<br />

PC-1 NORTH continued from THE COVER<br />
of the site and making up to $7 million available for engineering, design and consultant services.<br />
“This is a major step forward for the <strong>Market</strong>,” explained PDA Executive Director Ben<br />
Franz-Knight. “After decades of study, we have a concept that embraces our responsibility<br />
to increase opportunities for farm and food retailing, incubate small businesses, and<br />
provide services for low-income people, while<br />
preserving and enhancing access to public<br />
views and integrating with the exciting plans<br />
emerging for the Central waterfront.”<br />
The PC-1 North site was originally home to<br />
the <strong>Market</strong> Municipal Building, constructed in the 1920s.<br />
In 1974, the Municipal building caught fire and was subsequently torn<br />
down. The space has remained vacant for nearly 40 years due to the complexities<br />
of building on the challenging site which sits on top of the Burlington<br />
Northern Train tunnel, built in 1903 and still operational today.<br />
For over a year, the PDA and architecture firm The Miller Hull Partnership<br />
have actively engaged in developing the concept for the overall<br />
Central Waterfront plan and this site in particular. Extensive community<br />
dialogue and close collaboration with the James Corner Field Operations<br />
team ensures the proposed design celebrates, activates and increases accessibility<br />
to the Waterfront, the <strong>Market</strong>, and views.<br />
“This is a rare and exciting design opportunity - to work within the context of<br />
Seattle's prominent and highly visible historic <strong>Pike</strong> <strong>Place</strong> <strong>Market</strong>, while providing<br />
a key passageway to what will be Seattle's newly developed waterfront,” said Dave<br />
Miller, founding partner The largest and project selection design lead, of The Miller Hull Partnership. “Our<br />
firm is mindful of the wind-up need to respect and animated both the existing and new circumstances of<br />
this project that will link established and emerging elements of our extraordinary<br />
toys in the Northwest!<br />
city, and we are honored to be involved with this important design challenge.”<br />

• Full Worm Moon – <strong>March</strong> As the temperature begins to warm and the ground<br />
begins to thaw, earthworm casts appear, heralding the return of the robins. The more<br />
northern tribes knew this Moon as the Full Crow Moon, when the cawing of crows<br />
signaled the end of winter; or the Full Crust Moon, because the snow cover becomes<br />
crusted from thawing by day and freezing at night. The Full Sap Moon, marking the<br />
time of tapping maple trees, is another variation. To the settlers, it was also known as<br />
the Lenten Moon, and was considered to be the last full Moon of winter.<br />

CURIOUS CREAMERY WORLD continued from THE COVER<br />
richness and are great for cornbread and other baking. The only exception is cookies.<br />
Duck eggs won’t produce a crispy cookie.<br />
Nancy’s favorite eggs are goose eggs, with yokes the size of a peach and most delicious. The<br />
emu eggs have a pale yellow yoke. She mentioned that the fresher the eggs are, the higher<br />
they stand up in the pan. She makes a point of getting her eggs fresh from the farms two<br />
or three times a week, to provide her customers with a quality service. When you take your<br />
carton of eggs to the counter, notice how artistically Nancy and her staff decorate it with<br />
beautiful drawings of little flowers, chickens, stars, hearts or cows.<br />
Eggs from the Creamery come from poultry that are fed a variety<br />
of diets. Some are free range, some have organic feed, some<br />
have non-GMO feed and some have regular feed. Ask Nancy for<br />
the kind of eggs you want.<br />
There are three doorways into the Creamery, which allow a<br />
wonderful flow of traffic in and out of this delightful store.<br />
Along the back wall, between the second and third entranceways,<br />
stand six large floor to ceiling glass refrigerated showcases.<br />
The cases are full of mouth-watering dairy products.<br />
Housed in the first showcase is real whole milk with cream on<br />
top like we always used to have when I was a child growing up. In<br />
those days, it was the milkman who delivered this real milk to our<br />
doorstep every morning. Now look at what Nancy offers by way of<br />
variety (in addition to that real whole milk): She has raw Jersey cow<br />
milk, raw goat milk, buttermilk, chocolate milk, pasteurized but<br />
unhomogenized milk, and regular milk. She also has Devon cream<br />
and whipping cream. Nancy provides special accomodations in this<br />
section. Her customers can buy a cup size carton of milk for their<br />
lunch. Or, they can buy milk in pints, quarts, half gallons and gallon<br />
sizes. Nancy has glass milk bottles for those who prefer their milk<br />
that way. There is a $2 deposit for the glass bottles.<br />
In the second case are European and domestic butters, goat<br />
milk butter, containers of quark, soy milk creamer, almond and<br />
cashew cream for coffee, kefir and kefir cheese, and kombucha.<br />
In the third glass showcase are creme fraiche, sour cream that is<br />
made without gums, cottage cheese, cream cheese, goat milk cheddar<br />
cheese, raw milk cheddar cheese, Laughing Cow cheese, blue cheese,<br />
Parmesan cheese and snack size packages of several tasty cheeses.<br />
In the fourth case are probiotic acidophilus, rennet, vegan buttery<br />
sticks, vegan mayonnaise, Tofurky, smoked apple sage sausage,<br />
Mexican chipotle sausage, hummus, tofu, and delicious juice drinks<br />
like Lemon Ginger Echinacea, Mega Green, and Cranberry Nectar.<br />
In the fifth case is Brown Cow Yogurt with cream on top in<br />
delectable flavors of vanilla, maple and blueberry. And, you<br />
can find Siggi’s Icelandic style low-fat yogurt in the tantalizing<br />
flavors of coconut, pomegranate and passion fruit among others.<br />
Nancy only carries yogurt with live, active cultures. The<br />
acidophilus in the yogurt is very good for the digestive track.<br />
She has Nancy’s yogurt from Eugene (no relation to Nancy of the<br />
Creamery). There is also Greek Gods yogurt, which comes from<br />
Montlake Terrace. They are all very creamy and delicious. In addition,<br />
Nancy carries goat milk and almond milk yogurt.<br />
In the sixth case, Nancy keeps vegetable broth, free range<br />
chicken broth, and mushroom broth, all organic and highly nutritious.<br />
It is available in one cup or quart sizes. She also stores<br />
bottles of water, and containers of coconut, soy, almond and rice<br />
milk there. This case is right next to the third doorway.<br />
One day, a little girl was coming by with her family and spied<br />
Nancy’s beautifully displayed Cow Lovers Department just inside<br />
to the left of this doorway. Through windows facing this<br />
third side of the Creamery, the young girl had been fascinated<br />
with what she saw.<br />
“Mommy, Mommy, look at the little cow store. May we go in<br />
there?” she asked. “Yes, sure we may,” the little girl’s Mother said.<br />
The child was entranced with the cups with cow pictures on<br />
them, cow socks with udder toes and stuffed toy cows. There are<br />
also cow magnets, cards, hats, rain boots, over-night bags, salt<br />
and pepper shakers, bowls, cheese spreaders, spoon rests, and a wonderful cream for hands called Udderly Smooth Udder Cream.<br />
“And look at the Dairy Fairy”, said the little girl. “What a fun place this is.” “It certainly is,” said her Mom. The family studied all the<br />
cow memorabilia and picked out a few special items to take home and cherish.<br />
Now, lets go on past this Cow Lovers Department and continue round the corner. There is a display of healthy candy, energy and<br />
protein bars which we can pick up for a quick nibble or a later snack. There, as we stand at the counter we note behind it, is a large<br />
mirrored glass display case with bottles of maple syrup, salad dressings, and other tasty items for sale.<br />
Nancy’s caring and respect for nature and the earth, prompted her to start a recycling program. Customers may bring in clean egg<br />
cartons, yogurt and cottage cheese containers, rubber bands, and cloth, plastic and paper bags for reuse.<br />
She started working in the <strong>Pike</strong> <strong>Place</strong> <strong>Market</strong> 40 years ago, in <strong>March</strong> 1973. She has worked here since then (except from October<br />
1974 to October 1976). She loves the <strong>Market</strong> and counts her blessings to be here.<br />
The <strong>Pike</strong> <strong>Place</strong> <strong>Market</strong> Creamery is located at 1514 <strong>Pike</strong> <strong>Place</strong>, Suite 3 just behind Jack’s Fish Spot in the Corner <strong>Market</strong>. The hours<br />
are Monday to Saturday 9 am to 6 pm, and Sunday 10 am to 5 pm. The telephone is (206) 622-5029.<br />
