Craig Eidsmoe · p1

Release: 11.20.25

Craig Eidsmoe is a quiet fixture at Pike Place Market, a retired social worker with a heart for history and a knack for helping the lost find their way. 

In this episode, he walks us through a decades-long love affair with the Market, from gritty 1970s memories to his current role as tour guide (Friends of the Market) and resourceful “constant visitor.” 

With a passion for community and connection, Craig is spilling the tea about that infamous donut shop, the fishmongers, cinema, and public services, who he considers the unsung heroes of the cobblestone. His tales remind us that Pike Place isn’t just a tourist destination, it’s a living, breathing neighborhood shaped by the people who show up every single day.

Madinah In The Market originally aired as a radio-first editorial series, produced as recorded field pieces inside Pike Place Market. These archived episodes reflect the program’s foundational approach, created before its transition to a multi-platform show.
