Pike Place Market's Post Alley gum wall was barren for the first time Friday.
The market released a timelapse of the 130 hours it took workers to remove the gum.
Officials say the gum collected filled 94 gallon buckets and weighed nearly 2,350 pounds or 1.75 tons.
All the gum will be thrown away.
Pike Place Market Preservation & Development Authority says they removed the gum to preserve the historic buildings in the district.
To revitalize the artistic feel of the Lower Post Alley, Pike Place Market invited artists to take part in a paste-up art installation on Saturday. The Gum Wall Snap! Contest received more than 2,325 entries.
