Have you ever walked over those purple glass blocks in Seattle and wondered what they are? Or wondered about the original city planners and what they were thinking?
In hopes of preserving Seattle's history Bill Speidel started giving tours of the Seattle Underground. If you love history, comedy, dark underground tunnels filled with debris, don't miss these guided tours, which run year round. I have been on this tour dozens of times and it never gets old. Usually raunchy and irreverent, sometimes sentimental no tour is the same.
After all these Seattle Skylights might not be around forever!

Thumbs up for the underground tour. Even though we've lived here for many years, the history of Seattle is fascinating.
As Wendy says, they don't shy away from the mature side of the city's past, but it's also handled in a child-friendly way... (they did have more sketchy stuff in the gift shop this time, though...)
