Happy Canada day to all the Canadian people that watch Eric and Jax. Thanks a million for all the great vids Eric keep them coming and keep the wheels Rollin!!

[@michellevanfossen]

Awesome video! What a beautiful day in Seattle.

[@loomanphelps6378]

Hi Eric Thanks for another great video. At the moment its the only true way for me to experience cities in USA. Your channel was the first channel that I came to that I have stuck with and now I am hooked on van life. In 1 and a half years from now I will be doing the exact same thing.. Thanks so much for all your insights and tip's. Louie

[@J297WFD]

The gum wall is fricken disgusting!!

[@mrbadx19]

J297WFD it would keep a DNA lab busy for decades! LOL

[@yoshaki]

J297WFD If you notice there was a young girl in the background rubbing her hands all over it too.

[@STEAVENDUFFY]

mr bad example now thats funny.lol

[@6redline3]

will a person get into trouble for taking gum off the wall?

[@dmcgill01]

Was there for the Seattle 1960 World's. What fun for a youngster. Quick One - I saw a about 300 plus people in a line to use a typewriter. The exhibit was the future IBM Selectric Typewriter. People my not even know what I am talking about.

[@DebraCloudLeight]

Dennis McGill That's what I learned to type on!!!!

[@missycat5783]

Dennis McGill I was there for the World's Fair too! I recall it being April 1962 through October 1962. Remember the Bubbleator? Gracie Hanson? Elvis? The Monorail? and of course The Space Needle?

[@morpheuszzz662]

@@DebraCloudLeight Me too. : )

[@minmom45]

Loved that market 20 yrs ago. Thanks for bringing me back! Come to think of it it wasnt raining when I went either!

[@lickemlowbabe]

Great video Eric. What a beautiful city. Seattle is full if life, love to visit one day. Liked as always!

[@ReliantJustUsProject]

I've been up there twice! I love it! Thanks for sharing Eric!

[@ClassALiving]

Man i gotta go up and visit that town soon, so much to see! Great video, Thanks for sharing :)

[@bullsfan0323]

Thank you for your awesome video. I love Seattle.

[@manuelmarti8758]

Love your videos.

[@kb5zcs]

Thanks for the great video Eric,love the in door market........

[@bayt3ch]

That was a great tour. TY for sharing!

[@ChristineBEACHCRICKETLowery]

Nice tour of what downtown Seattle looks like! Pikes Place Market looked like an enjoyable place to go shop at. Even though the Gum wall was pretty icky,....it was part of what the area is all about in a weird way. I liked the Boardwalk area! Will you ever take a tour of the Seahawks stadium? That would really be interesting! Thanks for a Great Video!

[@Joey19701975]

Don't you think it's a little hot to leave the cat in your van in the summertime ?...

[@andregilbert8060]

Thanks for the wonderful site seeing. I hope to be there soon.

[@ChristheShrinerdawg]

I love the Pike Place Market!!!! Seattle...my hometown!!

[@WannaBFree]

Nice little tour of that area. Thanks!

[@sandydouglas3799]

Eeew the gum wall. Looks pretty cool but - eew. Thanks for the tour around Seattle.

[@jeffconnery5836]

LOVE Pikes Place!!! Awesome place to go spend some time seeing the wild stuff for sale. Across the street there use to be, may still be an amazing little bakery!!! Loved stopping in when in town. It's been a long time now. I do have some family that lives in Seattle and loves that city to the core. Too big for me to be there more than a few hours as a tourist. I live way to far out here in the boondocks for all that noise! The town I live in closes at nine all but two gas station mini marts during Summer that stay open.

[@ItsJacksonBruh]

Another awesome video Eric! I love what you do and you're an inspiration to me and others! Keep up the good work and forget about the haters. :)

[@55197A]

Thanks for the tour, looks like a nice city

[@debmarie55]

I've been to Seattle twice, and your video makes me want to visit again. The first two trips, I flew in, the next time will be in the RV. :) Pike's Place is always so crowded, we actually liked the shops that were one block up from there. Less people. Better prices.

[@happyhighway106]

Thank You Eric, for showing the heart of Seattle. It was educational. The Market Place was very nice. The tour "Duck Boats" would be something that I might enjoy. I would skip the "Gum Wall". The Ferris Wheel---ah, Yes! Keep up the good Video Presentations.

[@felix121984]

This is by far one of my favorite places !

[@rr7firefly]

And why is that?

[@TheRamblinCamperVan]

Great vid Eric! Those parents just stood there and watched their daughter put boths hands all over the gum like she was digging at it... GROSS! HAHAHA

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Uh, sorry, gum wall = disgusting. Not much grosses me out, but that did.

[@fookdatchit4245]

MotherOfManyHorses lol fackin' right

[@mxblyxky]

+ Tenspeed TheBikeHanger It seems she had both hands on the filth.

[@MrMark85044]

+MotherOfManyHorses gross

[@Biffbradford]

Thanks for the tour. Come on out to Chicago, the Great Lakes look just like your Pacific Ocean from land! LOL

[@joelburgess1328]

Pikes Fish Market..throwing the fish! Now a team building exercise. My wife particpated in the fish catching..what fun. Oh, and the grilled cheese sandwich and soup at the Cheese Factory is the BEST.

[@ShawnArko]

I was just recently there in April, and you went to every single place I did when you were on the board walk, I even got ice cream at the same place!

[@rvertv]

at least it wasnt raining there... every time i have been to Seattle ...the weather was awful.... good video !!

[@missycat5783]

RVerTV No rain in sight! It's been in the 80's and 90's for a solid month. I would welcome some rain!

[@RVGrannyWA]

RVerTV You need to plan your trip from mid July thru August, the least chance on rain then.

[@jaymewitcher7852]

San Luis obispo Calif has a bubble gum alley, been there for years.... 50 I know of. love your videos!

[@NewLife-qj5lp]

Love that arm tattoo

[@jang.2133]

Got to go out to West Seattle, to Alki Beach and have Spud fish & chips. Outstanding... or were back when I as last out there. Best way to park downtown was to park at the Seattle Center and take the monorail downtown. Cheers to Seattle. Pike Place Market looks pretty much like it did in the 70s. :-)

[@fatdog6]

looks just like i remember it and that was back in early 80's used to take the ferry over from bremmerton all the time

[@houndking]

Gum wall, something I would have expected to see in Slab City... GROSS!!!

[@ChristaErika]

who knew so many people chew gum......????? but to stick it on the wall ????? I don't think i'll be buying any for a long long time......just the thought of the wall alone gives me the willies..........

[@NewBeginningswithBudhiandCyndi]

Thanks for sharing looks to be a fun place, and overall clean city. Is there a place near to town that you could park and take a bus/trolly/cab into town for a reasonable fee, so you can spend the day.

[@peterdorn5799]

park your car on capitol hill & take the bus #10 downtown

[@peterdorn5799]

park on capitol hill & take the bus down on 15th. park next to volunteer park the #10 will take you down to Pike place market, easy save on parking, from a local "hiller"

[@peterdorn5799]

park on capitol hill on 15th next to volunteer park and take the #10 bus downtown to the market

[@BrotherAlan]

International District which is very close to Centurylink Field, also known as China town. GREAT restaurants! Luckily I work right next door to Centurylink Field. Sluggers bar has great cheap burritos on Tuesdays.

[@ArkansasMike]

Coffee Caramel ice cream! Damn that sounds good!!

[@luemoonba]

That was so cool. I haven't been there since I was 13. Be careful.

[@ka1133]

If you get to Niagara Falls, I'll get you some free passes for Niagara's Skywheel. Plus it's a much more spectacular view of the falls and surrounding area. Another enjoyable video ... keep them coming.

[@sandycarty9115]

ka1133 What side of the border is the free skywheel on?

[@Kiya4ever]

Next time you should check out Ye Olde Curiosity Shop on the waterfront.

[@purest21]

great tour of Seattle than you so much for having me tag along'

[@purest21]

so i can't spell., thanks

[@TonyBSyr]

Glad Jax didn't get stuck on the gum wall.

[@DMTW]

I have to confess, I stuck my used gum on that wall....

[@bucktoothbettysboyfriend11]

WHY DINT YOU GO ON THE BIG WHEEL.? THE ICE CREAM WILL WAIT.

[@GaryPClark]

I liked it better fifty years ago.

[@cheecheedivine]

Gum wall! More like spit wall. I never want to see that wall again. Flesh crawling. Gross!!

[@MegaMoe63]

Have to agree with Christine below the Gum wall is disgusting! Great video as always.

[@homicideGarSBG]

Great vid

[@thervers2140]

hope you didn't stay on forest St. But if you did hope all is good. Another fun ride along for us. THANKS KEN&SALLY MV.WA.

[@sluggo8633]

I love Seattle and the great PAC NW but can't wait for you to get on the road again, southeast then east? Or due east? How about US ROUTE 2 to mix it up a little...

[@Xycopixie]

Just a heads up, parking will be much, much worse when you get to NYC. Plan to stay in one of the outer boroughs or Jersey and take the subway.

[@billyslittlebigadventurech9050]

Seattle is on my bucket list to visit. I want to visit the graves of the late great Bruce Lee and his son Brandon. Also jimmy Hendrix.

[@necromanceification]

love seattle....

[@lanettadavis9910]

I want to go there one day...

[@CITAP1]

The gum wall is about the most unsanitary place in the state other than Hanford, PP Market is good for a visit and so is the waterfront but as a rule, we avoid downtown like the plague. When at the PP Market, get a humbow and a pork stick at the Mee Sum Bakery and a bag of deep fried chicken gizzards at the place about 30 paces north of the flying fish market.

[@DanielleJacquotMatt]

Nasty gum wall! I wonder how much of it has covid-19 currently, right now.

[@reneegriffith2375]

I have gum on the wall. lol. Many years since I've been in Seattle.

[@ollie4dad]

I stuck my gum on that wall in 1989..... I wish I was better at photoshop. Been trying to make a picture of Eric walking around with Jax in a front baby carrier pack thing... It is hilarious in my head!!!

[@MegaTriumph1]

Find the shade Eric. Its hot out oh ouch hot for Seattle lights. Hope your A/C is in good shape.

[@vadimkolos2061]

its that busy every day

[@KarynTV]

Well, that was disgusting. The more miles between me and that wall the better. Hard to believe the city allows that bio hazard to exist.

[@djkulp1]

FYI ... the "DUCK" is a WWII amphibious troop carrier. Need a way to get across the river ... get a DUCK.

[@maureenmulhern2830]

Like the videos maureen

[@vividdawn8793]

I am planning a road trip to the Pacific Northwest... while I would avoid cities in general, I kinda did want to check out some things like Pike Place Market. Thank you for warning me that it's TWELVE DOLLARS FOR TWO HOURS??? Holy hell!!! I have disabilities and can't walk fast/far, I'll have to figure something out that I can spend all day wandering around at my snail-ish pace, but not spend a fortune on basics like parking my car... good grief! I wonder if I can park my car outside the city, then ride the bus into the city and bus around between attractions? Though that might end up costing just as much?

[@SurviventheOnslaught]

how many days you stay in the hood depends on what tools you have to defend yourself

[@LordMelbury1953]

This is now an historical video with all the changes for good and bad in Seattle last and this year.

[@cali03skillz31]

Yo should do Reno nv

[@twocents760]

Cool gum mural. maybe the reason why it's illegal in singapore, holy shit! man, I hope you made it out of there alive. doesn't look too good of a place to boondock.

[@mountainman.4478]

Hey Eric let me know when you will be in Seattle or the pike place market .I will buy you lunch . Cheers

[@johng4250]

San Lewis Obispo, CA has a gum wall, looks to me like Seattle has more chewers.

[@zombiemillionaire6397]

All the gum has been removed because of stress on the very old wall BUT you can put new gum on it now. I did it for the first time.

[@99ETC]

Lots of peeps. Does it even quiet down there in the winter?

[@dmcgill01]

It was 1962. Sorry been a while, but had a great time.

[@WaynesRV]

The gum wall was disgusting. Every time you got close to it with the camera I felt I needed to wash my hands in bleach.

[@luissandoval4926]

hey Eric where is that "antique" shop you went to? or does it have a name??

[@JoeCubicle]

A little too much gum. The Pike Place market looked really cool.

[@sumpnspecl2]

Let me know next time you're in seattle area..I know Lots of good boondocking spots. I'm in a 31' Winnebago n been in seattle area for a couple yrs now half of it boondocking. Seattle isn't rv friendly at all. But I know some good spots.

[@C-TOS]

Did you ever saw Phoenix Jones walking in Seattle?

[@varietybacon6969]

Did you look for the gum wall geocache?

[@loomanphelps6378]

Oh and also "that gum wall...yuk Id be afraid to rub up against it

[@RVGrannyWA]

Recently there has been talk of tearing down Pike Place. So if you want to visit, better do it soon. It will be replaced just can't see it being the same experience.

[@stephenstringer3689]

RV Granny Sure hope that doesn't happen...I can't imagine Seattle without Pike Place.

[@RVGrannyWA]

It will still exist I suppose, but in a newer format. For those of you who have not experienced Seattle, Pike Place is only a small part of the whole. The Waterfront, Space Needle, Pioneer Square, Seattle Center, and so much more are well worth the trip. My favorite thing to do is the Harbor Tour where you end on Blake Island where you are served a salmon dinner in a longhouse and are entertained by Native American dancers, unforgettable.

[@dickweeeeeeeeeed]

standing at the gum wall wondering where all the ferraris,lambourghinis and porsches are...

[@edpotkay1]

Dude you should have done the ducks. You can t go to all these place sand not do the stuff..

[@edpotkay1]

Ed Potkay Didn't mean to complain Eric. I have seen videos that people did for duck boat tours in Boston. They videod the entire trip. It was about an hour. The video, I think if I remember correctly, has 1/4 million views or more.

[@rmbarnes672]

I concur with the general feeling about that nasty gum wall. Did anybody happen to catch the 40 dollar a pound king crab in what has to be a yupster fish market? Omg I've paid 18 bucks a pound for it down here but I thought the PNW was supposedly near where they're from. wtf?

[@MrTrevorkemp]

in denver a b cycle rental bikes like that start at $30 for 30 minutes and go all the way up to $109 a day it's a rip off here in denver they got big the jumped from $24 a day all the way to $109 overnight now there fading out but some still US them.

[@kristenking6929]

aren't they removing all that gum from the walls? I seen something recently saying it was to much of a risk to keep it around. I think it's gross anyways lol.

[@waltdoyle399]

Did u add to the gum wall?

[@johncnorris]

The damn trolls are at it again! Driving your subscriptions to over 40K and laughing the whole way. That really ticks me off!

[@WHBJr]

Wanderlust has been temporarily abated. Thanks E&J(Eric and Jax)

[@photosbychristensen]

Seattle Waterfront look like a tour trap like wis dells in wis

[@johnacord5664]

The gum wall, how gross. the city fathers better get a has mat team out there to clean up that mess.

[@jameskitchell1277]

Seattle looks interresting but to manny people and trafic

[@nomadicfanatic]

+James Kitchell yeah, not my cup of tea. I like the wilderness.

[@TheDeedwards]

+Nomadic Fanatic , Thank you for your channel. I'm from LA, CA and I want out. Can you recommend a town and state? I'd like to move to Washington. Can you recommend a place where theirs a lot of parking, nature and employment opportunities. Thank you :*

[@seattlesfinest1927]

Too* Many* Traffic*

[@asphaltadventurer]

Wow, when I went 2 yrs ago, the gum was so thick you couldn't see the wall behind it. Pretty gross, but funny.

[@williamdorsey4744]

That was creepy!

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

also a gum wall in SLO (San Luis Obispo, Ca.) just as interesting/disgusting.
