The Gum Wall

gw-kidsAfter hours of searching we finally found the famous(but never heard of by locals) gum wall. Named in the top 5 for germiest tourist attractions. A proud moment for Seattle, I’m sure. A scene for Jennifer Aniston’s film “Love Happens” was shot here in 2008 and in July twenty eleven the people of Windy Ridge stopped by. Another proud moment for Seattle, I’m sure.

Finally, we could get rid of our gum and add to this piece of “art”  known as the gum wall.

gm-collageMe & Brother Jake. I had everyone sing the hallelujah chorus when I added my bubble gum to the wall. I don’t mess around.

gw-annaI think Anna might have been kind of grossed out.

gw-gumLots of gum and slobber from all over God’s creation.

gw-post-alleyVisit the gum wall and put your gum next to mine. Mine is the pale pink very chewed piece.

I highly recommend you go the way we did: 1/2 mile in the opposite direction, wrong way, hither & yon, to & fro, right instead of left and around the block 3 times. This way you will be very happy by the time you actually get there. Just like we were.

Actual Directions: Post Alley under Pike’s place.

  1. I would love to know where it is, Audrey and I are headed up there for a girls weekend in a couple weeks and that would be fun!
