Beneath the Streets

Beneath the Streets is a tour in Seattle, WA, part of the Seattle guide. Cost: $25 to $50.

102 Cherry St · Seattle, WA

Why you should go…

Beneath the Streets leads one-hour walking tours through Pioneer Square's historic underground passageways, built after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. Guides cover more than four city blocks of the neighborhood's original 1890s storefronts, sharing stories of the Klondike Gold Rush, Skid Row, and the area's Coast Salish history. The standard tour is unscripted and involves several flights of stairs, so it is not ADA accessible, and an adults only after dark tour is also offered.
