This was on my todo list when visiting Seattle. In a little ally not far from Pike's place market you will fine one of the grossest coolest collection of chewing gum, anywhere? I don't know the history of how this started. The ally offers some great street art along with thousands of visitors - past chews. Go ahead and stop... More 

Very busy with all the tourists and can take a while to get photos due to how busy it is with people. It is quite amazing that it is just chewing gum stuck to the walls, but it is one of the busiest attractions we were at.

A warm day and I thought this was yucky, lots of people taking pictures and touching it. It did have some pretty good artwork made out of chewing gum.

I don't see why this is tourist attraction. It's gross and sticky and smelly! I don't recommend walking through this alley (we accidentally cut through it on our way to the market)

It's a wall, where everyone sticks their gum, so not exactly kids friendly but hey, we still take all our visitors there when we are at the markets.

Well, The kids seem to enjoy getting their picture taken with other people's gum. You should try it if you think you might as well.

You have to see it, to believe it. The aly doesn't smell good at all. I could not believe people touching the wall to add more gum. I would not make a special offer to get there, but stop if you're in the neighbourhood.

OK, this stop was recommended by my 12-year-old niece, but since I was in the neighborhood, we decided to check it out. I'd say if you're nearby, check it out.

Seattle is the city and Pike's Place Market is the place with The Gum Wall, a lesser attraction that adds fun and character. It suggested to me this city promotes weird eccentric whimsy, giving its denizens an unusual reputation that sticks--for not being sticklers.
