Pike Place Market Flying Fish

I recorded this two days ago after narrowly avoiding two terrorist attacks at Pike Place Market.

After the Space Needle observation deck, the fish throwers are perhaps the largest single tourist attraction in all of Seattle.

I am fortunate to get to see them several times each week, and I often stop to watch for 10-15 minutes at a time. This practice is so bizarre that you cannot help but be fascinated.

I’ve yet to see them drop a fish, although I’ve heard that it happens from time to time.
