- Market Theater Gum Wall (Under Pike Place Market)-Super gross, but a huge hit! The wall is exactly what it sounds like, a germ filled, sticky, colorful wall. The wall was completely cleaned off in 2015 but restarted soon after.

The Best Hidden Gems
Waterfall Garden Park (UPS Waterfall)- Fun fact, the beautiful 60 by 80-foot oasis was created in 1978 to commemorate UPS founder, James Casey, and is said to be the most expensive park per square foot in the US because of its 22-foot tall waterfall which pumps 5000 gallons of water per minute.
Pink Door (Pike Place Neighborhood)- Named, fittingly, because of its pink entrance, it’s a well-known restaurant famous for great Italian food, burlesque, and trapeze. An intriguing combination that is definitely worth the visit!
