Gum Wall
Gum Wall is a sightseeing stop in Seattle, WA, part of the Seattle guide. Cost: free.
1428 Post Alley · Seattle, WA
Why you should go…
The Gum Wall lines both sides of Post Alley beneath Pike Place Market, reached by the ramp to the left of the Public Market Center clock sign. It began in the 1990s when patrons and performers at Unexpected Productions' Market Theater stuck their gum on the bricks, and the market let it stay around 1999. The first full cleaning in 2015 removed more than 2,350 pounds of gum, yet the wall fills back up quickly. Bring a piece and add your own.
