When Seattle's 1889 fire leveled part of the city, officials decided to raise the city to a higher level, both metaphorically and literally. The portion left behind (and beneath) is now subject matter for a tour of Seattle's past (especially its unsavory, spicier parts). The network of abandoned rooms and paths prove interesting, but the stories and tales of seamstresses, thieves and prominent residents truly bring the area to life. This tour provides a fascinating glimpse into the city's heritage and legendary lore. The tour begins inside Doc Maynard's Public House, a restored 1890s saloon, and continues through historic Pioneer Square to three different sections of Underground--covering about three blocks total. The tour ends in Rogues Gallery, a quirky gift shop.
