Exploring Seattle: An Audio Tour of the Last of Us film locations

Seattle’s crumbling landmarks are silent witnesses to a fictional apocalypse that forever changed humanity. On this gamer-inspired walking tour, you’ll explore the real-world locations that inspired the haunting settings of “The Last of Us Part II.” You’ll also find out how this vibrant city was transformed into a battleground for the game’s three warring factions: the militaristic Washington Liberation Front, the religious Seraphites, and the ever-present infected. This tour starts at the historic Chinese Gate in Seattle’s Chinatown where, in the game, it’s been repurposed as “Martyr’s Gate”. You’ll walk through downtown’s streets that once teemed with FEDRA soldiers and WLF fighters, and past the elegant Seattle Public Library.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this audio tour? Can kids join?

A: There's no specific age limit for the tour, but I'd say it's best suited for older kids and teens who are familiar with the game. Younger kids might find it less engaging since it's mostly walking and listening. You can definitely bring them along if they’re interested, just be prepared for some adult themes related to the game.

Q: Can you do this tour in bad weather? What if it rains?

A: You can definitely do the tour in the rain since it’s self-guided! Just make sure you dress appropriately. Seattle weather can be unpredictable, so a rain jacket and good shoes are a must. The audio will keep you entertained while you walk through the iconic spots, even if it's wet out.

Q: How long does the tour take? Is it flexible?

A: The tour length can vary depending on your pace, but I'd say most people take about 2-3 hours to really soak it all in. You have the freedom to explore at your own speed, so if you want to take a break for photos or snacks, go for it! The app lets you pause and resume anytime, which is really nice.

Just did the Last of Us audio tour in Seattle—so cool!

I went on the audio tour last weekend starting at the Chinese Gate, and wow, it was incredible! The way the city is tied to the game made it feel super immersive. The app is easy to use, and I loved pacing myself. I spent about three hours, but you can totally customize it. Also, don’t forget to check out the Seattle Library; it’s even more impressive in person than in the game!

Thinking of gifting the Last of Us audio tour—thoughts?

I’m considering this as a gift for a friend who loves the game. I know they’ll appreciate the real locations. But I'm worried about them finding their way around Seattle or if they'll have enough time to enjoy it. Any insights or experiences would be great!
