Our experienced guides lead small groups above, and beneath, Pioneer Square to the street level that existed in the 1890s. Explore underground pathways that were built more than 120 years ago, learning details on early Seattle history, why these spaces were built, and how they have been used (and misused) over the years. Marvel at how this former tidal flat has since transformed into one of the 20 largest cities in the United States.

Q&A

Q: Are there any age limits for the Beneath The Streets tour?

A: There aren't strict age limits, but kids should be able to walk for the hour and navigate some uneven surfaces. I'd say it's perfect for ages 8 and up. Just make sure they’re into history a bit since the tour involves listening to a lot of stories about Seattle's past!

Q: What should I wear for the Underground History Tour?

A: Definitely wear comfy shoes! You’ll be walking a lot on uneven ground. A light jacket is a good idea too since it can get a bit chilly underground. Layers are your best bet, especially if the weather is unpredictable above ground.

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the tour? Can you reschedule?

A: The tour runs rain or shine since you're mostly underground. If you need to reschedule, they’re pretty flexible, just give them a call ahead of time. They want to make sure you have a great experience!

I went on the Beneath The Streets tour last weekend, and it was incredible! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the history of Pioneer Square really come alive. The underground pathways are fascinating, and you really get a sense of Seattle’s transformation over the years. If you're looking for a unique gift idea for someone who loves history, I can't recommend this enough! Also, be sure to wear comfy shoes.
