Guide to PCC Market Seattle

When you are in a place as natural and beautiful as Seattle, why not take the time to explore some natural goodness? Chances are that if you ask your hotel in Seattle, they will tell you that some or all of the produce they procure is from the PCC Market. But what is the PCC market anyway?

1. PCC Market

The PPC market is probably Seattle's best known institution in the business of organic groceries. Essentially run by the Washington Cooperative society, the PCC market is a certified grocer and distributor for a whole range of organically grown produce. But the PCC is much more than a simple market. It is an institution by itself. Since it is a cooperative society, it is heavily involved with the Seattle community and tackles a wide range of issues ranging from the future of food and farming to running volunteer programs.

2. A Seattle Legacy

Over a period of time, the PPC market has become a symbolic part of Seattle's culture and history. You can find the PPC market in over 10 locations in Seattle and several websites and directories about Seattle list it as a place of interest or even as a tourist attraction. Even sites like Yahoo Travel offer photographs and reviews of the place! Few groceries in the world have managed to generate this kind of a buzz. So there must be something there that is worth seeing.
