Seattle's oldest neighborhood, and a funny guided walk through the buried sidewalks and storefronts left when the city raised its streets after 1889.

Why Go

After the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, the city rebuilt its streets a story higher, leaving the old ground floors underground. Bill Speidel's Underground Tour explores them with plenty of humor. Above ground, Pioneer Square has Romanesque brick buildings and galleries.
