A Sticky Situation in Seattle 🍬
Visiting the Gum Wall in Seattle is a must-see for any tourist in Seattle!
Initially, I expected a yucky smell, as all those saliva left behind with the gum must have carried some bad breath. Surprisingly, there was no stench whatsoever.
Seeing the wall covered in colourful globs of gum formed a weird but fascinating sight. While I wasn’t chewing any gum, I imagined it would be gross yet cool to add my own gum to the mix.
I wondered how the tradition started, with people from all over the world leaving their mark here, in sufficient quantity to make it a community driven art piece. Overall, the Gum Wall was a quirky stop on my trip, and it was definitely memorable!

I want to visit Hong Kong because of its rich history and culture! I'm excited to explore the historic streets of Central and Sheng Wan, to learn about the city's heritage at the Hong Kong Museum of History and to try traditional dim sum and Cantonese cuisine!

Seattle, USA ~ Famous attraction: Gum Wall
📷1⃣️ Gum Wall - a wall covered in chewing gum
The taste is really touching, the photo feels good, you can go and have a look.
📷23🐟Pike Place Market
Jay Chou's recommended tourist spot, where you can buy some souvenirs and enjoy some seafood.
📷4⃣️5⃣️1ft and Pike Starbucks
The world's first Starbucks.
The store is not big. If you observe carefully, you might just walk past it. Buy a cup of coffee and experience the beginning of Starbucks' history. The uncle playing the piano at the entrance is really good. The feeling at that moment was especially wonderful!
📷6⃣️Piroshky Piroshky, a Russian bakery that bakes bread on site.
Just next to Starbucks, you'll see a line of people waiting. The taste is really great. After buying coffee, have a hot bread and enjoy the sunshine and sea breeze. It's so happy.

The Gum Wall
Believe it or not? Hygienic or not? Well, the gum wall in Seattle is actually a tourist attraction. The wall is actually a brick wall that has been covered with all sorts of colourful gums that have been chewed on and people just paste them there. You can find this unique tourist attraction under Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle. Shockingly, you see many people hanging out at this area too. People are there busy taking selfish with the gums stuck to the wall and do be careful when you are there because you may have gum stuck to your shoes. All in all, it is still a fun place to visit and check off your bucket list.

The Gum Wall, Seattle - USA: This is a used chewing gum on a brick wall near to Pike Place market area. For me this is the weird thing indeed. However, it is a place for instagramable. I didn’t put more gum there though. Just take a photo shot is enough.

The Gum Wall
What a unique tourist attraction, really something weird to look at. Gum on wall and lots of it. When you sre there during busy times, you can even see some people buy gum and actually chew and put in on the wall. The place also smells like a mixed flavor of bubble gum.
Entrance is from the side of the pike place market that faces the big signage near the corner with the tourist shop. Good to spend 5 to 10 minutes and take some photos.
This is one of the famous tourist attractions and you can see from the pictures, people walking by constantly trying to take selfies and blow some gum and stick it out. It is definitely a bit gross but at the end of the day the walkway is wide and wasn't too crowded. It's free and you just have to walk down to it.

#overseastravel Seattle's most visited attractions- Gum wall! It located in an alleyway in Post Alley under Pike Place Market in Downtown Seattle (just right below the Pike Place Market, less than 5mins walk). It's fun and cute to put a gum on it, but it's not very clean tho. Remember to bring your gum with you and wash your hands after. What a fun experience!
