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 />

AROUND THE MARKET<br />

Care for the<br />

<strong>Market</strong> Luncheon<br />

<strong>March</strong> 12, the <strong>Market</strong> Foundation invites<br />

one and all to join them in making<br />

a positive difference in the lives of lowincome<br />

funds and awareness for the <strong>Market</strong><br />

Foundation’s mission of preserving the<br />

traditions and diversity of the neighborhood<br />

that has often been called “the Soul<br />

of Seattle”.<br />

The annual luncheon helps ensure that<br />

the <strong>Market</strong> Foundation will continue to<br />

be there to support the vital human services<br />

located in the <strong>Pike</strong> <strong>Place</strong> <strong>Market</strong> and<br />

utilized by over 10,000 each year: the <strong>Pike</strong><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 />

luncheon and program runs from noon<br />

until about 1:30 pm.<br />

BY MEGAN LEE<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 />

Geographies, (UW Press, 2011). It<br />

is edited by Michael Brown and Richard<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 />
