Seattle's Wall of Gum at the Market Theater

Imagine a wall covered in a rainbow of fresh and crusted over gum. It exists and can be found in Pike Place Market. Just follow your nose for a fruity scent down the brick labryinth to the Market Theater.

The wall of gum is thick and covers an area of 50 feet by 15 feet. And people are creative and have been known to make art with their gum before sticking it over a layer of gum already on the wall.

This traditon began in 1993 thanks to college students waiting in line for shows sticking their gum on the wall. Theater employees tried scraping the gum and after a while gave up.

Go ahead and leave your gum, have your photo snapped by the wall of gum or create a piece of gum art. The possibilities are endless on a wall with no rules.
