What) For residents of Seattle and Greater Puget Sound, that big, pink elephant is almost as much a symbol of home as the Space Needle or Mount Rainier. Since 1951, Elephant Car Wash's rotating, neon elephant has been a Seattle landmark; elephants now grace eight Elephant Car Wash locations in Seattle and surrounding areas. The Battery Street elephant, the most well known of them all, has been on television shows and in magazine articles, commercials and countless tourist photographs. Anyone who has ever been through an Elephant Car Wash knows that the elephant is also a symbol of long-standing quality and service. (1)

Why) I
stayed at our hotel for 10 nights so I
did a lot of walking to and from the convention center where the bridge
was being held. I think that I noticed this sign on most
of those trips. I was so impressed that I decided to use
the video function on my digital camera. In the
four years that I have owned it, this is the first time that I
have wanted to do that.
