Post Alley Gum Wall

Another must visit "tourist" spot located around Pike Place Market! Located in an alley just a short walk from the market and is a quick attraction to visit!
Definitely a busy spot! You will see many people chewing gum and sticking it next to countless other chewed gum balls!!!
Definitely visit Ghost Alley coffee while visiting the gum wall!!!
Fun fact the city of Seattle has to come once a year and clean off all the gum!
Peep the photos for lots of used gum

I have seen my friends post photos of this infamous gum wall with them so I decided to check it out in real life.

I guess a photo doesn't tell you the whole story. It is disturbing and gross, and honestly, I felt like I was getting dirty just walking through this alley.

I didn't event want to stand close to the wall because I had a fear I would accidentally touch or somehow fall onto all of that gummy wall.

Overall I can see why people like it but for me, I just wanted to leave right away!

The Gum Wall is conveniently located down the stairs from Pike Place Market. I must admit, the smell was slightly sickening. I did not contribute to the wall as I do not chew gum due to the fact that it contains sorbitol, which has a laxative effect.

It's both gross and cool to look at. It's a nice photo op, but I scurried away after snapping a few quick pics of the wall as I was by myself and didn't have the gum for a cool bubble blowing photo.

It's a unique tourist attraction, but really disgusting at the same time. I refused to touch the wall to add more gum, but the ones that made the sacrifice before me created something special

This is just a fun and unique spot to stop at when in Seattle and near Pike Place Market. It's definitely a spot to get that 'gram. And you can also contribute to it.

What can I say! Gum, gum, and more gum! Such a silly staple piece to an amazingly fun and accepting city. It was so colorful, it ALMOST made you want to pull off a piece and eat it! lol!

This is located below the Pike Place.

There is a a certain smell in this alley...chewed bubble gum.

Kind of disgusting but a great photo op.

Just don't touch the wall! Lol

It's very nice to walk through post alley and there is so much to look at and the gym wall is something different but I would recommend it 100%.

It's not a wall of gum, it's a whole alley of gum!!

It's gross. It's disgusting. It's germy. It's soooo cool!

Pike Place Market was on my list but when I saw the gum wall I figured we should probably hit it while we're here. I'm so glad I did! It was packedddd on a Saturday afternoon but still worth it. I mean where else are you gonna see something like this?

I especially loved the gum poles. People are just taking over the whole alley with gum. It's colorful, it's artistic. It's very very cool.

My boyfriend and I left a little of our DNA here to join the crowd. It's a very cool experience and if you're in the area - why not?!?!

OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK. I understaaaaaaand that this is a big draw for tourists. I have been to Seattle a few times but only have just seen the wall in person on our most recent trip this past July. There is a reason why I avoided it for so long. I find everything about this wall SO disgusting. Germs and bodily fluids are a major 'ICK' factor for me, so walking down this alley was a bit of a hellish experience. And the smell!! An intensely sweet stench of acidic decaying bubble gum. Not my fav.

For as gross as the whole thing is, I did get some great photos and it is a staple of the Seattle experience so go for it?
