    Mt. Rainier is 14,411 feet high. It’s about 82 miles from downtown Seattle, drive time is about 1 hr, 44 minutes. I have a friend who lives in Belltown and walks to her office on Pier 66 each day, as well as walking just about everywhere. She’s never had a problem with homeless people. Unfortunately there are many cities in the US with a homeless and substance abuse problem. Yes there are a couple of areas that are sketchy, but on the whole you can safely walk around. The Seahawks, Mariners and Sounders all share a common color theme that includes blue and green.
    Those round objects on the floating dock are Land Buoys, it’San art installation. The Land Buoy Bells uses industrial materials - steel tank ends - and transforms them into a set of 5 instruments. The bell-like objects are struck at various moments as energy is stored up in an engineered device driven by the rise and fall of the waters that encompass the floating dock.
    The City actually power washes the Gum Wall periodically, but it’s so famous that people continue to stick their gum and other objects on the walls.

      @@janfitzgerald3615 Thanks for the added info. The area surrounding my hotel had large groups of homeless blocking the sidewalk, lots of needles all over the ground too. I never felt truly unsafe, but watching your back can't hurt. Not sure if it's still like that now; this was filmed a year ago.

      @@noturnsvarietyhour they have aggressively been breaking up the homeless camps and trying to get them into a shelter or housing, unfortunately some are so addicted they don’t accept because they can’t drink or use drugs there. Additionally they changed the law so public drug use is a gross misdemeanor this past October. From Belltown through Pioneer Square and the Chinatown International District, violent crime is down 14% year over year, homicides have decreased 40% and property crimes are off by nearly 26%, according to police. Since you stayed in an area of the Belltown neighborhood that was affected, I think after these changes you’d notice a difference.
