This wall is just ... phenomenal. An amazing local piece of art similar to the locks of love of Paris. Say it with gum! Don't have any? The Pike Place shops sell them for 25 cents/piece!

The germaphobe in me shudders, however the Gum Wall is cool to look at, just no touchies! While you're down there, slip into the Alibi Room for a pint and pie (pizza pie ), it's a semi-hidden gem.

Save some money. Just pull some gum off the wall, chew it yourself and reapply like it's your own. Fun!! Try some red and green. Yummers!!! ;-)

Noel Rodriguez

So gross but so cool. Grab a pack of gum and leave your mark in Seattle!!

Chris Calderon

Fascinating & gross at the same time! LOL ???? The Wall was cleaned off a few years ago but it didn’t take long to get filled back up! ????????????‍♀️

Bob Carey

What can you say about a classic place to visit. A MUST see in Seattle

Ben Gutnik

Very unique and cool landmark . Definitely picture worthy!

Ian Bernstein

I have not bought a single pack of gum since discovering this place. I’d estimate I’ve saved over $360 which has gone straight into my 401k

Amanda Thau

Just like it says it is, a wall of gum. Bring your own to stick up before you leave!

KC Star

Gross yet artful . You have to be there to experience it! If you think you might be stepping on some gum....... you most likely are.

Vitamin Yi

The power wash this wall once a year// you don’t want to be here to smell that.

Jonathan Slater

If you come here to visit and take pictures, try your best to hunt for Kurt Cobain's contribution to the gum wall. I'll bet you can't find it.

Kristopha Hohn

Come with a fairly firm constitution, because this collaboration public work is kind of creepy.

Allie Caudle

Grab some bubble gum and prepare to be grossed out with the infamous gum wall in Pike Place Market . It's the dirtiest work of art you ever will see, but should not miss.

Stuart Cameron

When you turn the corner into the alley, a wave of bubble gum scent fills the air. I didn't touch the wall or contribute.

Dale

Difficult to find. It’s the alleyway on the right side which leads you down to the gum wall.

Mike Pantoliano

Gum was once known as Chicle! Which came from the bark of trees that the native Americans used to just chew for no reason. Gum sure does have a sticky history!!!

Sarah Fiete

The best photo opps call for checking your soles before you get into your car... your shoes will be sticky with fallen soldiers from this monument .

Don't come here at night. When here in the day there is the small Post Alley Park nearby to take a rest.

Abby Anderson Jones

Worth going though it is very busy!

Adrienne Liu

This wall gets cleaned annually so avoid that week if you were hoping to see alllll the walls covered in gross used gum. Gross but still kinda cool

Robby Delaware

Seattle's Gum Wall - an absolute, must visit, if you are showing tourists around!

Minjae Lee

make sure to bring your own gum so you can add to the collection!

Christina

Gets packed on the weekend.

Tim Deng

This was legitimately one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life. -1/10, would not visit again.

Caroline Deng

The place is shady but if you go around 2 pm, the lighting is good enough for photos. Whatever you do, do NOT touch the wall.

Alaa Shaker

Another quick Seattle must-see attraction . You can smell the germs in the air though :D

McKenzie Bolin

Must visit for tourists ! Very odd but very fun!

Kate Furman

Its exactly what it sounds like.

Hard Rocker

A wired but fun place to visit. Great photo op.

Miranda Rensch

Try the strawberry pineapple swirl, it'll make your head spiral!

Jeri Beck

Weird but a must see. Pretty funny if you look close.

John Kidde

I wouldn't recommend touching the wall, unless you're going to immediately wash your hands. Cool spot though!

David Xu

apart from the novelty, honesty quite gross . the smell of gum is thick in the air. watch your step, as there is also occasionally fresh gum on the ground .

Celeste Thayer

Worth a photo. I've never added my own gum, though.

Take a picture of a heart then share it with the world around you. One love!

Arsalan Hashemi

How an stupid idea can spread and become a cool tourist attraction .

Place to visit, I know it was cleaned but will grow again lol

Gross and amazing at the same time.

The dirtiest work of art you ever will see, but should not miss.
