Pike Place Market has added a new neon sign to greet visitors coming from Seattle's newly renovated waterfront promenade.
State of play: It's the first new large neon sign the market has added in nearly 100 years, according to the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority.
- The sign is mounted on the side of a parking garage and elevator tower across from the Seattle Aquarium's Ocean Pavilion.
What they're saying: "Standing 16 feet tall and mounted almost six stories high, the sign is now visible to drivers, ferry riders, and visitors on the Waterfront," the development authority posted on X.
Yes, but: Don't fret — the old neon signs in the market area aren't going anywhere, so no classic photo-ops will be harmed.
- "We didn't remove our historic sign," the market authority posted on X. "We only added a new sign to welcome visitors coming from the waterfront."
