Our Market Says Goodbye to Two More
BY PAUL DUNN, MEGAN LEE & RICK RUTABAGA
W
e bid adieu to Market resident Robert LaVigne, the Yale
Graduate was also one of the original San Francisco “Beats.” He
came to Seattle in the late 1970s. Here he had jobs as a cab driver
(he wrote a Seattle Times feature article on the Languages of Taxi
Cab Dispatchers); He held a gallery showing of his portraits of
cab fares; He was active on the Seattle Sun, and a photographer
of the Market News from 1988 to into the 1990s; He became a
famous “photographer of disasters” and a lecturer in architectural
photography at U of W School of Architecture. As well as being a
poet, painter, set designer, etc. (There’s an on-going investigation of
some of his missing paintings.)
John Staments’ also died last month. A former Market News
photographer (‘88 to ‘92), he was well known in the Market,
and nationally, for publishing “A Portrait of the Market.”
From the Market he joined the UW faculty, running the
Architecture Photo Lab in the basement of Gould Hall. He designed a photography class for future architects and a “special
projects” class where students photographed a single subject in
depth. He remained at the UW or 22 years.
He specialized in documenting the rise and fall of historic
buildings: The Central Library, the EMP, King Street Station, etc.

S
martphones could take Buskers out of the picture.
If you visit Pike Place Market on a sunny day, amongst the
shops, vendors, and flowers, you may see more than a dozen
street performers, otherwise known as “Buskers.”
What you may not realize is that Buskers
are essential economic, cultural, and
political figures at the Market. Every
year, they perform on the Market sidewalks for more than 10 million national
and international visitors. Buskers are an
integral part of Seattle’s “soundmark,” what
Gordon Hempton, an acoustic ecologist,
describes as “a landmark, only for noises.”
Buskers encourage tourists and locals
alike to shop, eat, and linger in the Market.
Many visitors find themselves dancing and singing with people
from around the world while they listen to Buskers performing.
Buskers and visitors often shake hands, share stories, and connect with each other about music, place and memory. Buskers
contribute to the economic vitality of the Market by encouraging a sense of community and familiarity along the sidewalks
and alleyways, so that visitors feel safe, comfortable, and entertained while roaming and shopping. Parents with children on
each arm often stop to sway to music, a brief respite from the
locomotion of the crowd.
However, the tiny percent of Buskers who actually make a
living performing at the Market consists of less than 20 musicians, many of whom have been playing for over 20 years.
These musicians work during the long rainy season when
the temperatures can drop to 22°F and through the summer
months when it can reach over 80°F. They share different
musical cultures from folk, gospel, and classic rock, to pop and
political avant-garde, and play instruments both familiar (e.g.,
guitar and fiddle) and unusual (e.g., a saw played with a bow).
Many of the most seasoned Market performers also play Seattle’s
nightclubs and the events of city’s elite.
During the spring of 2013 as a part of our doctoral studies at the
University of Washington, we met, interviewed, and followed five

Mexican Jewelry in the Down Under,
thanked all his Friends and Family, for

a better community or customers!
We are very proud of how far the store

Seattle Trolley Proposed for Market
According to King 5 News and the AP, A new streetcar line in downtown Seattle could link
two existing trolley lines and provide a stop at the busy Pike Place Market. The city Transportation Department has picked a First Avenue route for a line that would connect the South
Lake Union streetcar line with the First Hill streetcar line that ends in Pioneer Square.
The project would eliminate 144 parking spaces on First Avenue. Next step is the outcome
of the Seattle City Council’s vote on the proposed connector trolley line.

Sports Update by Brison Grey (Dedicated to Terry)
Welcome to a new column dedicated to what’s happening in sports for our FANtastic City
of Seattle and beyond. Bringing you quickly up to date with how our big teams are doing,
what’s going on in the wide WORLD of sports, sightings of local and other iconic athletes in
the Market and a what to watch for. . . Here we Go:
The Mariners have been playing better this year than last, currently hovering just above .500
and elbowing Angel’s for second place in our division behind the Oakland Athletics. The new
Manager for the M’s, Llod McClendon, seems to have the team on the right path for success.
The boys have been active in the batter box and seem to have found way to get teammates
across home plate.
The M’s started this month out on the road with a makeup game in NYC, Felix pitched a
GEM and got a win at Yankee Stadium. The team traveled to Atlanta and swept the Braves in
a two game inter league match-up and afterwards winning 3 out of 4 games in Tampa Bay.
Retuning home the M’s were swept by those damn Yankee’s at Safeco Field for the first time
in 14 years. Followed by two losses to the Rangers, then were able to win the last game in that
series, next the team swept the Padre’s in 2 games. The Mariners left town for SD and took a
sweep by the Padres. I have to mention the loss of a great figure and sportsman with the passing of Tony Gwynn on June 16. Thanks for the memories and RIP Tony.
The Seattle Storm have started another WNBA season and are currently last in their division
with a record of 5 wins 9 losses.
This months sports-figure-sightings include home town hero Willie Bloomquist who was
caught buying seafood at one of out fish stalls and strolling through the Market with his
family. Drew Smyly who is a starting pitcher for the Detroit Tigers made a trip down to ship
some fish. Dan Marino, hall of fame quarterback for the Dolphin’s, was seen passing through
without much notice as well as Brett Favre.
Watch out for World Cup Soccer for the next month and for those following our Mariner’s
we have two home stands with the Twins, Athletics, Mets and Oriels.
Last but not least, I am happy to announce that the Mariners own James Jones has won the
Pike Place Markets Athlete of the Month. With his amazing speed on the bases and spectacular fielding efforts to go along with bringing his batting average up above .280 while leading
off the lineup for the club on most games. Awesome job #99!
Learn to Make Focaccia Here at Pike Place
Sunday, July 13, from 11 to 2 pm, in the Atrium Kitchen, will be a special demonstration
class instructing how to concoct the Italian favorite. Tickets are $70 and available at www.

Wow, its hot! I’ve been joking that
air conditioning is just something they
try and sell on late night TV around
here. . . I say that there’s just a few
HOT days around here where you’d
actually NEED it. Sweat it out, take it
and enjoy it!! We’ll be back below 70o
soon enough. When the sun’s out this
is actually the best place in the whole
world, wow, no wonder everyone is
moving here. And visiting. . .
More than 10 million visitors annually now, and that’s a lot of locals too.
And, a lot of gum! And celebrities!
Our spotters have been busy, see the
Sports column (on page 3) that highlights some of the non-noticed sports
figures who’ve been visiting.
Biggest of all, we hear, was Cher. Yep,
the most known outfit changer on
either side of Texas was here, when
she swooped into town as part of the
Pride Festivities!
And, our own Sonny Bono Tribute
Artist, who also does magic, Gary
Olinger, was part of it all.
Speaking of Buskers, we’re still
unsure on the status of The Buskers Festival, after a two year hiatus,
we hoped to bring
it back as part of
September’s citywide
Busking Week.
But, it seems like
the PDA has been
dragging their feet,
but there still is a
chance. . .
Fish continues to
fly around here too, not just at Pike
Place Fish, but at all four fish markets. Fly off the ice -lined shelves
that is . . .Copper Rivers, halibut,
squid, oysters and all of it. Get it
while it’s cold.
And, don’t forget the Gum Wall
Wars. As temperatures rise the sugary stuff melts, what a sight to see.
We’ve been working on the science
of it; Less sugar = longer lasting.

reviously, on FoM History –
From 1964 to 1971, Friends struggled
in a punch – counterpunch with city

Keep the Market Initiative settled the
dispute in favor of rehabilitation.

Association, a not-for-profit corporation.
Maggie’s Money Magic
With the Pike Place Project plan completed, Senator Warren G. (Maggie)
Magnuson acted as a “sugar daddy” to
the Pike Place Market, using his power
in the U.S. Senate’s Commerce and Finance Committees to send millions of
dollars for rehabilitation efforts to the
Market. Market activists gladly accepted this federal beneficence.
The steady flow of federal money continued through the middle years of the
1970s decade. Estimates ranged between
50 and 60 million dollars, with private
investment raising the total to 70 million.
The PDA Takes Over
and Dr. John Bagdade. The twelve
members drafted the guidelines, which
formed the ‘conscience’ of the Market.
The Commission had the power to approve or deny both ‘use and design’ applications for all businesses, important to
maintain the small businesses with specialty offerings to attract customers from
all strata of society. Existing businesses
were grandfathered in, allowing exceptions to some guidelines, such as size or
not fitting other new requirements.
The city set up a special Pike Project
to manage the whole twenty two acre
Pike Plaza which was the intended recipient of federal urban renewal grants.
Now the staff undertook the arduous
task of writing a Historical Preservation
Plan to put the Market’s seven acres on
the National Register of Historic Places,
needed for approval of the National
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, to qualify for any federal expenditures flowing west. (The state historic
registration was mooted by litigation.)
Pike Place Market Historical Commission
Publisher
Gary G Goedecke
Friends’ motto: Repair, Reuse, Restore.
A final plan for the entire twenty two
acre area was worked out, calling for
rehabilitation of twenty four structures
and the replacement or rehabilitation
of seventeen others. FoM objected and
wanted higher standards of protection,
but were overridden by the MHC and
the City Council approved a Pike Place
Project Ordinance.
Meanwhile, as noted earlier, a MHC
committee was meeting to design
a special semi-governmental entity
called Public Development Authorities
by which cities could give autonomy to
special areas, programs, or structures,
that provided a public benefit. In 1973 a
Seattle city ordinance created the charter for the Pike Place Market Public
Development Authority (PPMPDA).
A spirited public debate erupted between the MHC and the Pike Project
staff about “what to save” and “how to
do it”. Some still feared demolition and
starting anew; others held out for the
The transfer to city control of the
Market begun in 1973, when PPMPDA was created, was completed property and power, replacing the city Pike
Project in mid-1974. FoM, with two
members on the MHC and another,
Jerry Thonn, on the new controlling
PDA Council, continued to be active
in this dynamic era. More and more
guidance and decision-making was
now centered in the PDA and MHC,
both of which had been envisioned in
the 1971 Initiative language.
Completion Money Proves Risky
After repair and rehabilitation and
complete restorations of several Market
buildings, the Sanitary Market Building
still needed expensive, extensive work.
Federal money was drying-up.
Mortgages which gave lenders a generous historical tax credit on personal taxes were said to be a safe way to raise the
cash to complete the renovations. Several such tax instruments were taken
out by the PDA in the late 70’s and early
‘80’s by a New York real estate investment firm named The Urban Group.
A 1986 change in the tax law eliminating the historical tax credit on the
mortgaged property changed the relationship between the PDA and the
Urban Group, which was asserting
an equity interest in the Market, demanding financial reports and seeking
higher rates of return. The relationship
became hostile. The fitting acronym
THUG was coined. City Hall sent business troubleshooter Shelly Yapp down
to the Market to lead the defense.

ed friends and attorneys with expertise in land use, mortgages, and real estate and formed the Coalition to Keep the Pike Place
Market Public. FoM joined the Coalition as did other Market groups and the PDA. A three year legal battle in Seattle and New
York courts was finally resolved with a settlement, aided by the state legislature in which the Market regained ownership of its
property, with a revised charter that forbids such future transfers.
Quiet Growth, Celebrations, and New Tax Money
The next two decades saw prosperity and less turmoil in the Market. The 25th Anniversary of the Keep the Market Initiative
was celebrated in 1996.
The Seattle Public Library reached into its Special Collections and created an exhibit featuring FoM documents and photos.
Similarly, the Special Collections at the University of Washington Library mounted an even larger exhibition in the Allen Annex
of Friends’ documents and photos. Public Receptions were held in both venues.
In 2007, the Market’s Centennial, Friends produced a three-lecture program at the new Seattle Public Library auditorium,
featuring Paul Dorpat and Alice Shorett, both Market historians, and Roger Sale, author of Seattle, Past to Present. The PDA,
led by the Market Foundation, created a truly spectacular year of events and celebrations.
In 2008 Seattle citizens again rewarded the Market with an affirmative vote for a six year $70 million tax levy for
earthquake retrofitting and to infrastructure upgrading.
50 years of FoM - Tours, Lectures, and Fall Forum
This year, the 50th anniversary of FoM, Friends recreated the original founding gathering in April with a Champagne break-
fast for eighty old and new Friends. In June, John Turnbull, PDA Asset Manager, and this writer, presented talks on Market
History and the FoM’s intertwined role in it at the MOHAI History Café. On September 30, FoM returns to the Central Library
for a keynote lecture by David K. O’Neil, a national expert on public and private markets, and a local panel of responders.
Other FoM projects of note include the cataloging of the Market Public Art and the complete restoration of all the Main
Arcade high stall signs. All art can be seen on
FoM’s new website, friendsofthemarket.net, and on
STQRY.com, which now has a Market Art Tour App.

BUSKERS continued from THE COVER
established Buskers at the Market.
Initially, we were studying the information sharing practices of Buskers, particularly
ppmnews@qwestoffice.net
around how they mark their performance spots. We learned that Buskers don’t
use digital technologies during their performances, to share information with
other Buskers, or to coordinate their use of performance spaces. Their social
and professional relationships and behaviors are grounded on the Market pavement.
Some we talked to use the Internet to promote their music, via a dedicated
website or Facebook, but their use of technology for business in the Market is
decidedly low-tech.
However, the locals and tourists who walk by and gather around Buskers on a daily
basis are “always on” – smart phones in hand, they are engaging with people
and information both in, and well beyond, the Market’s alleyways. This appeared to be a rather mundane observation at first, but our interviews with
Buskers revealed the ways in which the audiences’ information practices were
disrupting their performances.
As smartphones have become ubiquitous, Buskers have become discouraged
about performing their music at the Market. Visitors who use smartphones often stop to take pictures and videos of Buskers without asking for permission

and even guerilla theatre (yes I was a member of the SAVE THE MARKET PLAYERS).
That public involvement saved the day leading to a 60% vote in favor of saving the market, which was then a
loosely defined 22-acre part of downtown Seattle. This public involvement in the PUBLIC MARKET continued
through endless Historical Commission and PDA and Market Merchants Association meetings that decided the future
of the Market, its rules, its procedures, its boundaries. Public involvement has dropped away as has the act of locals
shopping for groceries in the market. The original taboo of not turning the market into a giant tourist trap has
failed and now the Public Market is for out-of-towners and their local friends. Attention must be paid to writing
the history of the market correctly and honestly, not simply in a manner that behooves the group doing it. This misdirection surfaced during the Market 100 Year Anniversary also, when the PDA publicist portrayed the PDA as the
savior of the Market. Make no mistake about it, it’s the Public that has saved the Market by its involvement, endless
meetings or with its two-bag grocery shopping. If the market declines it will be because the market is no longer relevant to the public. The Seattle citizen will as it has done in the past, make or break this public icon.

To the Editor:
Billy starts out with a back handed compliment to Friends of the Market’s 50th Anniversary and continues to err by calling the Friend’s campaign to Vote Yes: Keep the Market. Save the Market was the slogan of the business front group out
to defeat the Initiative. Guerilla theatre, signs, buttons, and bake sales were important in the last stages of the campaign.
But,Friends of the Market spent the previous seven years of organizing, leafleting,and publicizing, Was Billy around
in 1963 and 1964 when Wing Luke was writing and speaking, urging “repair, renovate, or restore” the Pike Place
Market? Was Billy there when over ten days in 1969 Victor Steinbrueck directed scores of citizens and experts
testifying for renovation of the Market before the City Council? Was Billy aware that the Initiative to Keep the Market
was written by Friends of the Market, and put on the ballot with 25,000 signatures collected by Friends of the Market
forcing the City Council to put it on the ballot? Was he aware that the Initiative had the conditions which defined
the seven acre Historic District, set up the Historic Commission, and directed it to create a non-governmental entity
that became the PDA? The destiny of the Market was set long before Billy sat, or shouted, through “endless meetings’
in the 1970’s. Tourism is a problem now that Seattle is in the top ten of “destination cities” in the US. But the Market
has been threatened in one way or another in every decade during its 107 years. It will survive even with its active,
but ill-informed, supporters, like Billy King.
-Paul Dunn, Vice President of Friends of the Market, involved Merchants Association and a noted planner!

the camera take the emphasis away from music
and from the capacity of music to build community in a specific time and place. These digital
shorts – whether photo or video - cross the physical boundaries of the Market and reach a virtual
audience of friends, family, and clients of visitors
using smartphones.
Visitors share their pictures and videos of Buskers
with friends and family in faraway places, use them
to make money, and to practice photography. When
we talked with visitors using smartphones, they expressed the personal significance of sharing busker
performances with absent family and friends.
A woman using her iPad to capture a video of a banjo player planned to share it with her mother who “is
trapped in a nursing home.”
Another woman used her iPhone to text a photo of
a gospel choir performance to her daughter who is

gram, and other online digital spaces, take control
of the buskers’ images and can make a profit from the buskers’ performances. A man with a large video camera who spent several
minutes taking footage of a banjo player told us he was “making a WGBH web series.”
Another man with a video camera told us he was “capturing footage for a travelling group from Britain.” A woman using her iPhone to
take pictures of a gospel choir said, “I’ll post it on my Facebook wall. I’ll probably print it and put it up in my living room. Maybe sell it.”
Over the course of 150 hours of observation and interviews at the Market, during several weekends and weekdays in the spring
of 2013, we observed that visitors with smartphones are three times more likely to cache their photos online than to produce cash
for Buskers’ tip jars. Visitors who take snapshots rarely pay for the pictures and videos they take. Out of every three visitors with
smartphones who stop to listen and capture Buskers performing, one tip is given to Buskers. For example, in a one-hour session
on a Friday afternoon, we observed 170 visitors with smartphones crowded around a busker, and only 12 offered a tip.
For the most part, buskers never see the benefits of their online presence. One of the buskers explained, “People think they’re doing me
a favor, like, ‘Hey man, I’m going to make you famous!’
But that’s never happened.
If I could make myself famous by performing on YouTube, I could have posted a video myself!” In a telephone interview with us, Nick
Broad, founder of The Busking Project (http://www.thebuskingproject.com/), commented that although free streaming services like
ORGANIC DAIRY & SOY PRODUCTS YouTube might “marginally count in a busker’s favor,” the disadvantage is that a busker’s act “becomes completely diluted” and he or she
loses control of how his or her information is used.

This article was submitted by Katie
O’Leary and Amanda Menking, PhD
students at the University of Washington’s

research during 2013, interested in studying the information world of Buskers at
Pike Place Market.
Excited to honor their participants and to

Mini Market Almanac
July is the month of the Full Buck Moon.
Bucks begin to grow new antlers at this time, also known as the Thunder Moon,
because thunderstorms are so frequent during this month.
The Moon displays two superbly tight conjunctions this month.
First, it floats just below zero-magnitude Mars on the 5th, with blue Spica close
by on the left. Then, on the 7th, it’s very close to Saturn, with the pair highest at
nightfall in the south.
First Quarter: July 5
Full Moon: July 12
Last Quarter: July 18
New Moon: July 26
We all consider July Fourth to be “our nation’s birthday,” but given the number of steps
it took to be a free country, it’s good to be reminded of what the day actually signifies:
This holiday -- also known as Independence Day -- commemorates the fact that in 1776,
the Continental Congress, representing the 13 colonies, approved the
Declaration of Independence -- the first step on the road to freedom as a sovereign nation.
• Birth Flower - Larkspur. Each color variation has a different meaning:
pink means fickleness, white conveys a happy nature,
and purple normally represents a first love.
• Birthstone - The ruby, an alluring gem that is said to stir the imagination
• Quotables:
“Kiss is a Fourth of July fireworks show with a backbeat.”
-Gene Simmons
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to step foot on the
“Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats

believe every day is April 15.”
