Seattle Gum Wall

Seattle Gum Wall
Alley way Market Theater
Pike Place Market

It is the germiest, scariest, creepiest, uncleanliest, yukkiest (I could go on and on!) yet the funkiest and merriest place on earth!

The gum wall made it to the Top 5 Germiest Tourst Attraction in 2009!

People started sticking gums on the wall in 1990s and believe it or not, in 2015, it was cleaned. First and last time. Took 130 hours to scrap off 2350 pounds of gum stuck on both sides of this 50-foot wall.

Efforts were in vain!

And, chewing gums have been continually stuck on this wall until today. People are still contributing to the wall. Others designed their gums on the wall. No restrictions. No rules.
