Metsker Maps boasts a rich history dating back to the early 1900s when Charles Metsker first charted the Pacific Northwest in 1901.

While our offerings have expanded to encompass all things travel-related, our passion for maps remains steadfast. Since 2004, Metsker Map’s presence at Pike Place Market's Sanitary Market Building has flourished, thanks to the unwavering support of patrons like you. We take immense pride in our status as a small, locally owned enterprise and remain committed to serving our community for years to come.
