Pike Place and Surrounding Areas

My next target was Pike Place Market. Atlas Obscura has three listings in there: the famous chewing gum wall (which I have visited), along with two less well known sites: a giant shoe museum and a psychic chicken.

Pike Place Market is a bit of a maze. I wandered around searching for the two sites without success. While looking for directions on my phone, a shopkeeper named Kathy, who was on her cigarette break, approached me and gave me directions. Alas, both places required quarters, which I did not have. The Giant Shoe Museum required users to insert a quarter to peer into a looking glass, and the psychic chicken required two quarters. I was bummed because I would have loved to film the psychic chicken squawking and laying an egg containing a fortune.

The Atlas Obscura listings are at:

My next stop was nearby at the Seattle Art Museum. At the space in front of the museum, there is a giant moving statue of a man using a hammer.

After filming the hammering man, I made my way to Asean Streat Eats, a small food court specializing in Southeast Asian cuisine. I ordered a char kway teow (fried rice noodles) which was passable. I was looking forward to a Malaysian milk tea, but unfortunately that stall was closed. Regardless, I was happy to consume food I could not find in Hawaii.Read more
