I just don’t get it. (But the Pike Place Market is awesome! I highly recommend that fresh Dungeness crab!)

You can never ignore this golden pig Stop and appreciate its beauty!

Its literally a golden piggy bank. Theres nothing much to it. But all proceeds go to the market so I guess thats nice.

Rachel the Pig is located at the Pike Place Market right under the large market sign right next to the the Flying Fish stand. The facts and history of Rachel the Pig:Rachel arrived at the corner of Pike Place under the iconic Public Market Center sign and clock in 1986. She is a bronze cast piggy bank created by Georgia Gerber, a sculptor from Whidbey Island, Washington. Weighing in at 550 pounds (250 kg), Rachel was named after a real 750-pound pig who won the 1985 Island County Fair. Her cousin, Billie the Piggy Bank, arrived in the Market in 2011 and sits on Western Avenue at the bottom of the Hillclimb.Rachel was the inspiration behind the “Pigs on Parade” fundraiser throughout downtown Seattle in 2001 and again in 2007 for the Market’s centennial celebration. #localguides

Nothing says Seattle quite like Rachel. May she live long and prosper.

Simply piggy bank statue near the Pike Place Market. Great for picture taking.

Haha, I get the reference. Theres a slot on the top!

Awsome pig. Amazing Sculpture.

I was meeting my friends, it is an easy place to meet up with your party.

Adorable bronze piggy bank that is not only the mascot of Pike Place Market but a fundraiser for the market. She sits at the entrance of Pike Place Market. Legend has it that if you rub Rachel’s snout and make a donation, you’ll have good luck. Rachel also inspired other piggy banks such as Philbert at Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia.

No idea why this is a tourist attraction, but what the hell. It is, so you might as well fight the hordes of Japanese tourists and school groups for your turn to take a selfie sitting on a giant bronze piggy bank, too.Head downstairs to The Pike brewery for a beer after. Youve earned it.

A big pig statue.

Wanted to see her for years. Glad I came.

Rachel is a celebrity! People come here for a picture taking :)

Rub it for good luck.

There are many picture opportunies at Pikes Place, Rachel is one.
