Washington's Market Wall: A Nightmare for Germophobes

Imagine strolling through Seattle, known for its incredible attractions like the iconic Space Needle and the Fremont Troll. However, it also boasts a rather peculiar feature – a wall adorned with chewed gum. If the thought of catching anything, no matter how minor, concerns you, it's advisable to steer clear of the theater beneath Pike Place Market, where the wall has been transformed into a sticky canvas of gum. This unappealing tradition took root in 1993 when theater attendees started adhering coins to the wall.

While visually vibrant, this attraction earned the dubious distinction of being voted one of the top five germiest tourist spots. Beyond snapping a picture, there isn't much else you can do here. Moving on to the next destination.
