The Gum Wall is a local landmark in downtown Seattle, in Post Alley under Pike Place Market. It is a brick wall now covered in used chewing gum. The wall is covered several inches thick, 15 feet high for 50 feet.
The wall is by the waiting line for the Market Theater, and the tradition began around 1993 when patrons of Unexpected Productions' Seattle Theatre stuck gum to the wall. Theater workers scraped the gum away twice, but eventually gave up after market officials deemed the gum wall a tourist attraction around 1999.
This Gum Wall, also known as the Wall of Gum, is one of the least known attractions of the historic Pike Place Market – known nationally for its fish throwers and as the location of the original Starbucks logo.
It was named one of the top 5 germiest tourist attractions in 2009, second to the Blarney Stone. It is the location of the start of a ghost tour and is a popular site with wedding photographers.
A scene for the 2009 Jennifer Aniston film Love Happens was shot at the wall in 2008.
