Gum Wall

1428 Post Alley


Located in an alleyway next to the Pike Place Market is one of Seattle's most intriguing sights -- the Gum Wall. Much like the tradition of putting a lock on the famous Parisian bridge, residents of Seattle have adopted a different ritual of sticking wads of chewed gum to the wall of this alleyway. Sure, some find it distasteful, but most others view it as a work of art that represents Seattle's unique charm and character.  

With companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Boeing calling Seattle home, this dynamic city is definitely leading the way for the tech industry. The world famous Space Needle is a testament to that! However, Seattle also boasts a weird and wacky side, which makes it a perfect city for the traveler who loves a little something strange. Check out these four unusual places in Seattle!
