Tourist Vocabulary
We're well into the heart of tourist season now. It's kind of funny to hear tourists use the wrong names for Seattle landmarks. Today I heard "Pioneer Center" instead of Pioneer Square. And while Pike Place Market is called various things by the locals (Pike Place Market, Pike Place, the market), I've heard tourists call it "Pike Market" and "Pike Street Market". I understand what they're saying, but it sounds so weird!
