To Seattle residents, this pink elephant is as much a symbol of Seattle as the Space Needle, Pike Place Market or Mount Rainier. The first Elephant Car Wash location in downtown Seattle was opened in 1952. This location closer to Seattle Center was opened in 1956. Automatic car washes have been around since at least the late 1930s, but Elephant Car Wash is believed to be the first one in Seattle. There are several locations in the greater Seattle area as well as eastern Washington, Arkansas and California.
Great shot!
