Whereas Pike Place was originally a seafood and vegetable market, the shops outside are modern.
The storefront shows the accessible entrance, a glass facade that reveals the interiors and the vibes inside, and that the shop is crammed with various objects of Mexican folk art.
They also have their phone number painted on the glass.
