The Underground Tour located in Pioneer square.
June 6, 1889, the original city if Seattle burned down. Instead of rebuilding the city where it was, those in charge decided to build on top of the rubble, leaving the remnants under the city.
The underground tours, take the tourists on a walk around the old city that is still in tact and still located under the current city of seattle. It's a really cool walk back in time to see what is was like in the 1800s in the PNW.
