Seattle: topics

Some cities are famous for the beautiful paintings on their walls, but Seattle – for a truly unique Gum Wall. The tradition originated accidentally: in 1993, pending entry to Unexpected Productions’ stand-up club, people attached chewing gum to the wall of the building (the first to set the tradition, by the way, were the club owners themselves). No matter how much the workers tried to clean it, they did not succeed. As a result, in 1999, the authorities recognized the wall of the theater as a landmark. At the end of 2015, the wall was nevertheless cleared of gum in order to erect a monument in honor of the November terrorist attacks in Paris. This attempt to rid the wall of gums lasted for three days, demanding harder measures in the form of steam cleaning. However, this did not save it from further “decorations”. Being next to the wall, you should definitely look through the repertoire of nearby theaters and the Unexpected Productions’ comedy club.

The Safeco Field baseball stadium is another important attraction in Jimi Hendrix’s hometown. Built in 1997, it can accommodate 47,764 spectators who have come to see a large-scale baseball game. If a football competition is to take place, the stadium can provide seats for 30,244 spectators (however, the record for the most large-scale match was 54,097 spectators). The Seattle Public Library is remarkable not only in terms of the collection it contains but also with regards its architecture. It was originally built in the neo-renaissance style in 1890. However, already in 1954, a restoration occurred, thanks to which the magnificent structure gained an international style which tourists can see today. The architect behind the restoration was Paul Tyri.
