This little pink elephant will stay outdoors where it belongs.
Amazon’s plans to display the smaller Elephant Car Wash sign on its Seattle headquarters campus now involve putting the historic marker at the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street in front of its reInvent tower.
Amazon was gifted the sign last fall by Elephant Car Wash owner Bob Haney after the business closed its nearby Denny Triangle location after 64 years of operation. Amazon originally wasn’t sure if the sign would end up inside one of its numerous Seattle office buildings. The larger elephant a glowing, spinning, pink pachyderm piece of the city’s history went to the Museum of History and Industry.

A beloved Seattle landmark will soon have a new home on Amazon s South Lake Union campus, just a stone s throw from its original location.
Western Neon filed plans with the city Tuesday to install the smaller Pink Elephant Car Wash sign in the public plaza of Amazon s Nitro office complex on Seventh Avenue, merely two blocks from where the original car wash was located on a triangular property on Battery Street and Denny Way. Record details accessed by the Seattle P-I showed the company is asking for special zoning permissions to ensure the sign is viewed as a work of art and not advertising.
