Book an Underground Tour
Did you know the Seattle you're walking in today was built *on top of* the original Seattle? Take a walking tour of historic Pioneer Square and explore three underground passageways originally constructed in the 1890's. You'll see and hear the history of the neighborhood from both the original and current street levels!
