Farmers Market at Seattle Center & SAM




So "who is this?" you may be asking. It is no one other than Seattle's gnome lady! (More formally known as Diane Macrae.) While Diane admits her gnome has been frequently mistaken for the Travelocity gnome, she assures me that her gnome is special; coming from [insert location].

The Seattle gnome can be found on shirts, postcards and other accessories around souvenier stores in Seattle, including her own store in Ballard.
I asked her "Why a gnome?" and she enthusiastically explained that she was truly inspired by the popular French movie, Amelie, which is about a gnome who travels the world.
