7. Pike Place and Virginia Street:

The Pike & Virginia building was designed by Olson/Walker and became the Market's first new structure in 1978. The adjacent Champion Building was built in 1928 for the Dollar Cab Company. South of it is the Soames-Dunn Building, remodeled in 1978 under the guidance of architect Arne Bystrom. It houses several shops and restaurants including Sabra Mediterranean Deli, Bavarian Meats, and Emmett Watson's Oyster House on an interior courtyard. From this you can take stairs up to Upper Post Alley and its collection of stores and eateries, including The Pink Door, Kell's Irish Pub, and The Glass Eye gallery. The newer Stewart House was designed by Ibsen Nelson in 1982.
