The Gum Wall
4.2 (14,109)attraction
4.2 (14,109)A brick alley under Pike Place Market, transformed over decades into a colorful, multi-layered mosaic of chewed gum.
Description
Set along Post Alley, the tradition began around 1993 when patrons of the adjacent Unexpected Productions Market Theater stuck their gum to the brick wall while waiting for shows. Despite multiple cleanings over the years, the sticky mosaic has repeatedly returned, growing into a massive public installation that now spans the entire alleyway.
