Situated next to the coast in Downtown Seattle,is an iconic outdoor market with more than 200 stores and restaurants. I've been hearing about it for decades, so I spent my first afternoon in Seattle perusing the 9-acre shopping hub.

On a sunny Thursday afternoon, the market was crowded with locals and tourists alike. I shuffled my way through what felt like a line to get a peek at the fresh seafood. When I needed a break from the mob, I found refuge inside a used bookstore.Every so often, a delivery truck would drive through, dividing the crowd into two tightly packed globs, but mostto drive through Pike Place Market. This made sense to me, since each passing vehicle halted the pedestrian flow.

But I was surprised to learn that the open-air market's cobblestone streets are normally open to all cars — the city is testing a ban on cars aside from vendors, delivery drivers, and those with disabilities,reported in April. The temporary ban began on April 23 and is set to continue until the end of summer.

Obesity is a major contributor to. The more weight a dog carries, the more insulin-resistant they may become. It can also leave dogs more vulnerable to infections, cataracts, and organ damage if left uncontrolled.

Just like in humans, excess body fat puts a strain on a dog’s heart. Over time, this added stress can contribute to heart enlargement, high blood pressure, and even congestive heart failure.Just like in humans, excess body fat puts a strain on a dog’s heart.
