24 of Seattle's quirkiest landmarks. Have you found them all?
We get it, Seattle is strange. Truth be told, perhaps most of us would like to keep it that way.
From city chandeliers comprised of shattered CDs and a gargantuan pair of boots alongside a cowboy hat, the Emerald City has its fair share of wacky attractions for both locals' and visitors' amusement amid the hustle and bustle of an ever-expanding city life.
Some are tucked away, down alleys or underneath a bridge's shadow, while others remain in plain sight amid the labyrinth of downtown city streets. Some remain sights of controversy, and some act as beacons of color and contrast under gray skies. Others are meant as messengers to the public eye or merely as a bit of humor or a touch to the reminiscent soul thinking on simpler day's past as the city blossoms.
Nonetheless, we've rounded up 24 of Seattle's classic yet quirky landmarks. Scroll down, and let us know what other city oddities we should be on the lookout for.

Ever since the Aurora Bridge was erected in 1932 there have been reports of troll sightings underneath. Now we can say for sure that a troll has taken up residence on the north end of the Aurora Bridge.
In 1989, the city asked the Fremont Arts Council to launch an art competition to rehabilitate the area under the bridge, which at the time was a dumping ground and haven for drug dealers. Later that year, a team led by sculptor Steve Badanes won the competition and was inspired by the folktale Billy Goat’s Gruff. The troll is made from rebar steel, wire and two tons of messy ferroconcrete, and is 18 feet tall with a shiny metal eye and crushing a Volkswagen Beetle in his left hand — which was a time capsule for Elvis Memorabilia for a while until vandalized.

Nestled under the shade of Viretta Park, next to Kurt Cobain's former 币圈app都有哪些home, fans have designated an unofficial memorial to the musician. Atop the benches, visitors can find flowers, letters, lyrics, and poems left behind for the Nirvana frontman on what they believe to be a place he would originally sit to write lyrics and find alone time.

The bronze cast piggy bank more commonly known as Rachel, an icon at Pike Place Market, was based as an outdoor bronze sculpture in 1986 as the Market's foundation piggy bank. Annually, Rachel takes in around $9,000 in currency from across the globe, all of which funds the market's social services.

Amid Georgetown's Oxbow Park rests the 1950s 44-foot-wide hat and 22-foot-tall boots. Though it's now a whimsical plaything, it was once the state's most successful gas station, housing the office in the hat, and the restrooms in the boots. Legend holds even Elvis Presley swung through in 1962 while attending the Seattle World's Fair.
