Exploring Seattle Bubble Gum Wall



Finding the bubble gum wall was an adventure. According to the tour books, it was located in Pike Alley. Well, it is but the alley is several blocks long and starts and stops. It is a very popular spot with people looking at the “art” and adding to the art. There is even a gum ball machine located in the doorway where you can buy bubble gum for a quarter. I supported Jerry’s Kids and made a purchase. I was lucky and got 2 large gum balls for my quarter.

Notice all the colorful gum on the walls around the gumball machine. I plan to compare this “art work” to that of the statue of Bubble Gum Einstein located in Washington DC. Einstein’s statue is not actually made of gum, but has the bubbled affect that makes people think it could be made of bubble gum.
