Miniature Car Dealership at Pike Place Market
The tiny Miniature Car Dealership shop, located on the Down Under Mezzanine in Pike Place Market, is packed floor-to-ceiling with toy die-cast metal vehicles. I asked Guillermo Huizar, who was running the store for his brother, Jaime, on the day we visited: How many cars are in the store’s inventory? “No idea,” he said. “One thousand? Two thousand? Three thousand? Kids’ heaven.” Some of the flashier cars are even featured on revolving displays, just like at fancy-pants auto dealerships. It’s hard to leave without a new addition to your miniature fleet at home.
