How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The pink neon Elephant Super Car Wash sign glows over the streets of inFAMOUS Second Son. PlayStation's official comparison points players to the real car wash on Denny Way, a few blocks from the Space Needle.

The real place

The Elephant Car Wash opened at Denny Way and Battery Street in 1956, and its pink elephant signs became beloved Seattle landmarks. The car wash closed in 2020: the large rotating sign seen here went to the Museum of History and Industry, and the smaller one, restored by Western Neon, now stands at 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street.

Visiting

Find the restored pink elephant at 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street, across from the Amazon Spheres and two blocks from its old home. The Museum of History and Industry on Lake Union holds the larger sign; check its website for what is on display.
