Underground Seattle tour

While in Seattle, we took a tour that explores the darker parts of Seattle.

In the beginning, Seattle had a major flooding and plumbing problem. After a big fire, they decided to address this problem by raising the whole waterfront. But businesses didn't want to wait several years so they rebuilt their buildings while the city slowly raised the roads. The sidewalks were the last thing raised. This plan created an odd maze of underground entrances and alleys that eventually became know for their prostitutes and opium dens (along with tuberculosis and other disease).

Great tour if you are in the Seattle area! I'd go back and take the evening adult version.
