It was dedicated on August 17, 1986, the market's 79th birthday,[3] and is maintained by the Pike Place Market Foundation.[1] Modeled after a pig (also named Rachel) that lived on Whidbey Island and was the 1985 Island County prize-winner, Rachel receives roughly $9,000 annually in just about every type of world currency, which is collected by the Market Foundation to fund the Market's social services.[4][5] Description and historyThe Smithsonian Institution describes Rachel as a "life-size, realistic figure" of a sow piggy bank.[1] The Pike Place Market Foundation calls it the "mascot" of Pike Place Market.[2] The bronze sculpture depicts a pig with a money slot on the top of its head and measures approximately {{convert|36 x 66 x 16|in|cm}} and weighs {{convert|550|lbs|kg}}.[6] Bronze foot prints are on the sidewalk leading to the pig figure. One nearby plaque reads: "Market Foundation Piggy Bank. Made possible by a gift from Fratelli's Ice Cream, August 17, 1986".[1] Another states that money deposited into the piggy bank benefits local human service organizations.[1] The sculpture was surveyed by the Smithsonian's Save Outdoor Sculpture! program in April 1995 and was deemed "well maintained".[1] On February 5, 2011, Rachel was struck by a taxicab and was knocked off its concrete base.[6][7] The sculpture suffered cosmetic damage, including a {{convert|10|in|cm}} crack along the left ear and a dent on its left side, and was repaired at Gerber's studio on Whidbey Island. Rachel returned to the Pike Place Market on March 18, 2011, after a tour of Seattle landmarks in a vintage farm truck.[8][9] Rachel was joined by a "cousin" named Billie, installed in July 2011 at the Western Avenue entrance to the market.[10]See also
