Underground Historic Seattle

Below the bustling streets of modern Seattle lies a hidden underground world. This little-known part of the city dates back to the Great Fire of 1889, after which the streets were rebuilt on top of the ruins. As the city was raised to prevent frequent flooding from high tides, the original street level was buried. Many of the underground pathways and structures were abandoned, seemingly frozen in time.

Today, these old Seattle landmarks form the basis of popular underground tours. Walking through these underground corridors offers a glimpse into what life was like before the fire and how the city evolved. Visitors can see old storefronts, saloons, and sections of sidewalks, giving a glimpse into what Seattle was like and how it functioned long before the iconic Space Needle and the rise of technology.

The underground tours themselves have become one of Seattle’s unique attractions, drawing in history buffs, curious locals, and tourists alike. With every step, tour visitors seem to discover layers of history hidden in the usual urban bustle literally under their feet. This interesting adventure offers a completely different look at the colorful past.
