T’was on a sunny St. Patrick’s day that a classroom of wonderful 3rd graders from Ridgecrest Elementary visited and learned about the Market. One group had a hard time moving on from the magical doughnut-making machine at Daily Dozen Doughnuts:

Eventually they made their way up the North Arcade to try some tasty jam and jelly samples at at Woodring Orchards, yum:

For a totally different taste experience they wandered across the street to try some flavored olive oils and vinegars at Sotto Voce:

Finally, it being such a beautiful day, and they being such a well-behaved group of students, they got to experience the best view at the Market, from the observation deck of the Inn at the Market, where everybody just HAD to pose for a picture with Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains in the background:
