- Walking tour of Seattle’s Pike Place. Filmed on the morning of May 7, 2023. I’ve made a lot of videos of Pike Place Market and it’s good to be back.
I ended up also covering the Seatrle Waterfront and Downtown Seattle (Pioneer Square). Lots of development and things happening in Seattle and summer is around the corner!

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME…
My name is Dennis aka Lao Ocean (also aka Dr. Wtpho, but more about that later) and I'm a Lao American UA-camr based in Seattle, WA (since 1980). I do different things, including I’m a Creative Director for Seattle based Pom Foundation, a non profit group that strives to transmit, preserve and promote Lao culture through the arts.
My videos and vlogs consist of Seattle and Pacific Northwest content, food and product reviews, and travel. I drink way too much coffee and eat pho 20PHO7!

I grew up in Seattle but moved several years ago. Your videos make me so happy! Your voice is easy to listen to, and you take me on tours of some of my fondest memories. Thank you!
I like watching anything Seattle. I grew up there in the 1940’s and 50’s
thank's Dennis for this walk, never boring, w/ my limited walking it's great to have a chair and follow your walk
I found your videos a great help Dennis and prepared me for my visit to Seattle last year. Don’t listen to the internet trolls, Keep up the good work! Also, a walking tour of the Fremont area would be cool. I loved that area. Peace ✌🏽
You’re upbeat demeanor is your expertise. You don’t have to be a tour guide of anything. Your viewpoint is the best point, keep being yourself, don’t let negative people hate on who God made you. I watch because of who you are, even if it’s Pike Place or Alki Beach. You are the content brother!!! Just watch out for busses😆
Be You Tee Full!!! keep showing the amazing life in Seattle!!! Interlopers have come to destroy our successful city, but by showing us thriving they will move on to a different city. Your videos remind me every day why I have never even thought about moving away. The old saying.."charity starts at home" stands strong in Seattle. Ignore the "some dudes" of other states/cities and focus on Seattle. Florida sucks. We fought to get and we fight to keep it. You are showing the best place on earth to live. Thank for taking the time to share our state online!!! You are the best. We need people like you in our city. Any haters that comment will shrivel into oblivion, you will remain successful lifelong. There is no place I'd rather live.
Thank you!
Dennis, don't let mean people get you down. They can turn the volime off if they dont like the narration. We fast forward sections at times. We really appreciate you and your famiky for your videos. Our son moved to Seattle for work. We miss him a lot. Your videos give us an idea of life there and the changes. We are also using them to help plan our future visit. Stay well and thank you 😊.
Keep up the great work Dennis. I enjoy your videos. Ignore these folks who thrive on putting out hate behind the anonymity of the internet.
I came to Seattle in 87 and then moved to Washington in 88, at 10 yrs old, pike place market magic shop and waterfront shops like Ye Old Curiosity were amazing to me as a kid, still hold a great deal of nostalgia to me, thanks for the video!
I love your content very nature keep up the great work 👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Looks like a really NICE day at Pike place market! Thanks so much for bringing us along. I live down in Vancouver (WA) and really looking forward to spending more time in Seattle this summer. Keep up the adventures!
I used to take random road trips to Vancouver, Portland, etc. in my 20s (late 90s) haven't been exploring up there for a while but its all nostalgia to me. Lived in bothel Washington at the time. In Az for last 20 yrs and there's nothing here worth moving for unless you wanna sell pottery and crystals in Sedona or something lol
Last time I was in Seattle was back in 1985. I was stationed in Tacoma, at McChord AFB there, back then. We used to make road trips up to Seattle to find night spots to have a good time. Those were the days. I eventually moved back east and in the South where I am now. It's been decades since I've been back to Seattle. Maybe one day I'll make it back out there again. It's good that you make videos of the city. It brought back memories for me seeing those clips, even though there are some new buildings and things. I feel like I left of piece of me there in Seattle. Saw lots of shows, concerts, and good times while there.
i love exploring cities walking tour videos especially with narration from a local explaining everything like weather, history events etc. you're the only walking tour channel from Seattle with narrtions and I absolutely love it please keep posting more video and go on tour to more neighborhoods of this beautiful city and take us with you. all love from Malaysia
Dennis, I really enjoy your videos. I live about an hour north and I've only been to Seattle once in the last five years. Your tours are relaxing and educational. I get to see a preview of sites so I know what to avoid and where to explore myself. Keep up the tours.
Your walking videos are my absolute favorite!! Your commentary 👌
I love your walking tour videos, since I can't be there, it's a way of keeping up with what's going on. So sorry that some folks are just so negative toward you. The waterfront was always a calming place for me, love the vibe there. Have a great week, Dennis.
What an AWESOME video; you say so many Interesting things my friend. I'd love to respond to all of your amazing thoughts on your wonderful city. Someday I will take the Lao Ocean walking, coffee and food tour of your amazing city. Thank you, again, for taking your valuable time and making another wonderful video. Hello to the lovely Amanda.

I am excited to be excited! Back to Pike Place,YES! Thank you, thank you Mr Dennis. What a great way to end the Sunday by watching it. The waterfront is really taking on a new and exciting look. They've done a very nice job so far, hope they keep pushing forward with it. Hope you are doing well Mr Dennis. Keep the long and narrated videos coming, they are the best. The flowers are so professionally arranged,grab a bundle for the Mrs.
Thanks Kevin and hope you’re well!
Dennis, I have watched every video on Seattle you have ever posted. My granddaughter lives in Seattle and before we went to Seattle to visit her last September 2022 you showed us places we wanted to visit. Ignore critics!!! If they don't like your tours or conversations with us they should stop watching your videos. I want you to keep making fun videos. I don't want to hear the spin Seattle Travel gives, I want to hear what Seattle locals have to say. We stopped and got coffee at places you recommended and burger places you stopped at during your walks. Keep walking, keep talking. I am watching and listening, Thank you for your view of Seattle and not the blah blah of people who don't know Seattle.
I glad you're making video again on pikes place market
I love your videos man. Keep up the great work and let the haters hate!
👊
Thank you for this awesome video. Love your commentary. It’s been a year since I’ve been there and I’ll be back in a few weeks so it’s helpful to see what’s been done construction wise.
Seattle is great
thanks for this relaxing tour, love watching t
I always appreciate these long videos, Dennis. Nice to see you back at the Pike Place Market! Beautiful day at the waterfront 🙌
Thanks and long vids are coming back!! 😊
@@LaoOcean YESSSSS!!! 🙌
My man! Your videos show your EXPERIENCE, at no point do you guarantee EXPERTISE!
Disregard the bashers, they got nothing. Keep doing it your way, your videos are great!😊💙💚🌏
👊
@@LaoOcean 😎
I always enjoy your walking tours, just checking things out and conversation, like I'd be doing if I was there. Don't worry about negative comments, there's always a few who just HAVE to criticize like it's their damn civic duty, how irritating.
Sabaidi Dennis! good job again walking tour.
A perfect depiction of a perfect day in Seattle. I live here and it was an amazingly beautiful day with fantastic! flowers all in bloom NOW.
You do you, and don't listen to the haters disguised as critics. Rock on Friend!
Great video as usual
So appreciate your videos!,,,LOVE watching all your Pike Place videos!!!!!!
Dennis?
Just ignore all those haters that hate themselves more than you!
They are so full of bs!
Thanks always!
Love Seattle weather during summer time❤️❤️🥰🥰Love your walking video Dennis❤️You’re doing a great job!
You and action kid are my favorites ❤️
I love this 😀
great to see the market again
I love the waterfront.
sok dii ai Dennis.
I love your videos and I do miss visiting Seattle! Can't wait for my trip next month. Keep doing your thing!
Another great walking video always some changes, picked a great day for a walk! Even 😎 sunny take care Dennis.
love ur vids Dennis, thank u for doing what you do!
bruh don't let the hate get to you i appreciate you and the video's you make and wait for the Scooby laugh
Ah the Scooby laugh 😂!
I so enjoy your walking tours. They make me happy. My parents grew up there and I had hoped to move somewhere in the area, before I became ill. I had a couple of comments, but for some reason I can no longer comment using my Kindle? Anyway, I forget what my comments were? I keep wondering? I see how worn the old, brick road is. Is the old city right under the brick road? Is it reinforced and safe. I know you said some vendors don't want to be filmed, but I do love looking at all the items and into store, window displays. Maybe once in awhile you can get permission to film from a few?
Nevertheless, fun tour. The street food looks interesting. Thanks!
Great walk! Beautiful flowers, sunny weather! Thank you for sharing!
Dennis, don’t mind the bashers, just blocked them. We, the silent majority benefit s much to your blogging the Pike Place. Keep it up and remember that you can’t please all. God bless🙏❤️👏
grown accustomed to your voice, t
I really enjoy your content. Don't get discouraged by the lames.
Thanks for a fantastic video have you ever been to Ye Old Curiosity Shop on the waterfront ? It used to be there , before I went to Tokyo in 1977 .
The shop is still there.
Port-O-Potty ❤️
I remember when you ran into the gentleman that sold you your favorite hat on one of your neighborhood market walks 💕
Yeah that’s who I bought the hat from!
Never listen to the trolls. I think your vid’s are quite enjoyable.
Hey I love this vids! They’re fun! But hey I thought third was better now? Maybe not near pioneer square but at least on the pike pine corridor? Has it become problematic again? What about little Saigon?
I don’t think I can handle the gum wall. I’m heading to the market on Sunday!
The views are wonderful but Pike Place is a hard pass! Great video!
So informative of your walking tour at Pike Marketplace and the Wharf. Out of curiosity how far is the walk from Marriott’s near the wharf #66 to Pike Marketplace and if there’s an easier or short cut way?
Thanks. Easy 10 minute walk and the concierge will point you in the right direction. I’ve stayed at that hotel a couple times.
I don't knowhere will the new overlook walk begin, will it start at victor steinbruek park? I don't know
sabaidee...Will be there in Nov, can't wait to check this place out. Can you recommend best pho in the area?
Pho Bac Sup Shop
push pho bac to make some hats, then we can we walking ad's
So sad to see that park closed down.
stop it with the starbucks! please!
Do you have a ferry rid video?
Yes
What is the link?

when are they going to have rainier cherries again ?
Not sure but I can’t wait!
the guy in the wheel chair drinking coffee & beer ..Thats a new one ....hmmm ..I'll pass on that!
Are there vegetable and fish venders there now
Yes there are.
My grandfather sold chickens there in the 1940’s.
Santa can
date is wrong its 7/5/23.
replace your hat w/ supersonics from simply seatle
I'd like to see bad parts of Seattle
Thanks for showing us Pike Place Market and the waterfront. So much construction!
