Seattle's Hidden Depths: Underground History
You walk these streets every day, but ninety percent of Seattle’s history is hidden right beneath your feet. In 1889, a catastrophic fire burned the original city to the ground, leaving only ash and rubble behind. Instead of rebuilding on the same level, workers raised the entire street level by ten feet, burying the old first floor. Today, you can descend into preserved underground passageways, walking through Victorian storefronts frozen in time. It’s a ghost town beneath the modern metropolis. Have you ever walked the tunnels?
