| Pam is atop Rachel, the Pike Place Market's bronze piggybank. Rachel weighs in at 550 pounds and was created by Georgia Gerber, a sculptor living on Whidbey Island, Washington. She was named after a real 750-pound pig named Rachel, the 1985 winner of the Island County Fair. Each year visitors stuff $6,000-$9,000 worth of coins inside her, and it is traditional to have your photo taken while riding her. |
