The Seattle Gum Wall Gets a Cleaning

Pike Place Gum Wall, Seattle

We've had some time to cope with the downfall of Seattle's famous Pike Place Gum Wall. For the first time in 20 years, the wall got a much-needed cleaning, marking the end of one of the city's quirkiest attractions. Locals had a lot to say about the event—both good and bad. On the pro side, the rats that were previously attracted to the sticky sweet will have to find a new home. Con: the wall was a true attraction drawing new visitors to the Pike Place Market.
