Cultural week-end activity

The Underground tour

Hi, I´m back. This time I'm going to tell you about one of my favorite Seattle experiences so far which I did with some of my classmates. The Underground tour. You can find this tour on Pioneer Square and the cost is $15 showing your Husky card, regular price is $18. 

The tour begins with a ten minutes talk about the origin of Seattle, when the first settlers arrived. Then the tour guide, who by the way is a great storyteller and really funny, takes you to four different underground locations and each one holds a particular story, for example one of the stops is in a bank vault where a long time ago more than one ton of gold was stored from the Klondike gold rush and in other stop explains how the great fire occurred and what they did to rebuilt the city. 

I would like to tell you more but I don't want to spoil your visit to the highly recommended tour. 

Bye for now.
