That meant they had to build more ramps and stairways. Notice the musical notes painted on the floor. Musicians with a permit can perform anywhere there is a painted note. There are 14 throughout the Market. The number painted inside the musical note tells musicians how many people can perform there at one time.
Many musicians like to perform near the mural because of the acoustics.
You might also encounter a balloon artist who'll make you a balloon hat, or a mime who stands still like a statue. Many people have homes at the Market. Enjoy a great view of Elliott Bay, ferries and other ships, downtown buildings, and Mt. Rainier. Notice the two totem poles in the park. One honors the tradition of farmers in the Market.
