Seattle: Gum Wall

Getting back to my trip earlier this month to Seattle (did I tell you I love this town?), here I am standing in front of the Gum Wall outside the Market Theater down by the waterfront Pike's Place Market.

Rumor has it that the gum on this wall started when patrons of the Market Theater were not allowed to chew gum inside the theater. So people started to stick their ABC gum (Already Been Chewed gum) to the brick wall. 

As gross as it sounds, the wall is actually a pretty colorful display which is constantly being added to.

If you ever have an opportunity to travel to Seattle, you don't want to miss it!

Seattle: Pioneer Square

Pioneer Square is one of the historical areas of Seattle. This is the location of the tourist attraction called The Underground Tour which was started by Bill Speidel in 1954 as a way to preserve this area.

I love how there are flowers everywhere in Seattle, even in the allies.

Below is a photo of The Scandinavian-America Bank back in the 1900's.

And here is the same building today.

Seattle: Pike Place Market

Last week I flew out to Seattle to attend my nephew's wedding. One of the sites everyone told me not to miss was Pike Place Market along the waterfront. I wish I lived locally so I could have taken home some of the gorgeous flower bouquets, mouth-watering fresh produce and fresh seafood of all kinds. 

Pike Place Market is a public market overlooking the Elliott Bay waterfront in Seattle, Washington. The Market opened August 17, 1907, and is one of the oldest continually operated public farmers' markets in the United States. Pike Place Market is where retailers like Starbucks and Sur la Table got their start.

I'm planning a brief trip to Seattle later this summer to attend my nephew's wedding. I've never been there before and wondered if any of you have. If you know of something that I should not miss while I am there please let me know by leaving a comment below. Thanks!
