The Pike Place Market is America’s longest continually running farmers market - established in 1907. COVID changed everything for the market’s vendors as they traversed how to continue in business. As executive director of the Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority (PDA) since 2017, Mary Bacarella oversees the market’s 500 small businesses – farmers, day-stallers, and brick and mortar retailers - but did not expect 16 months of pandemic related restrictions.
Ken Grant served as an interviewer for the day’s featured program asking Mary, first about the difference between the Pike Place Market PDA and Pike Place Market Foundation, led by Rotarian Lillian Sherman. “The PDA oversees the nine acres of the market’s historic district running the market including operations…or a little city inside the city,” she said. The PDA has a staff of about 100. The Foundation is the fundraising arm of the market.
