This pun-loving vendor at Pike Place Market in Seattle was very grateful (and oddly relieved) when she realized I understood the joke on this sign. Too often, she lamented, visitors would miss the word play and wonder what kind of Spanish-sounding variety an “apple-anche” was.

Where most of us would have seen this as merely a patch of peeled paint on a drab concrete wall, one creative soul saw something more. Another image from my quick visit to Seattle last month.

Pike Place Market in Seattle is as much a feast for the eyes as for the tummy. Here’s what caught my eye on my recent visit there.
The most unusual feature of the market, I found, is represented by the last photo in this series, which is a portion of the bubble gum wall in Post Alley. Chewed up bubble gum turned into rubber street art. It even smells like gum down there.
