Iconic Car Wash Sign Removed


 One of the most enduring reminders of old Seattle, the Pink Elephant Car Wash sign is being removed. 

The Pink Elephant Car Wash announced it was closing it's location on Denny Way near the Seattle Center due to homelessness, drug activity, and business costs.  

The sign will go to Western Neon for restoration work and then donate the the Museum Of  History  And Industry.

In my early days of living here, the sign along with the Pink Lincoln "Toe" Truck were two of the most unique signs I would come across when going to the Center for festivals and basketball games.

What a neat sign. I'm glad it will be restored and donated to the Museum.
