The Seattle Underground was very eerie. You’re walking on makeshift platforms that lead you through the dank walkways with small makeshift signs either of wood or even just painted onto the wall so people could figure out where they’re going. It’s incredible to think of how many people walked through those pathways after the rebuilding of Seattle.
When we started the tour we were split off into 3 separate groups with our own tour guide. Our guide was a nice blond girl, but she put on this persona of basically a Utah valley girl. Her “character” she used was a little over the top and got on my nerves by the end of the tour but I do admit she was very knowledgeable about the underground and the history behind it.
There is an adults only version of this tour later in the evening that sounds like it would talk more about the even seedier side of the underground that I would love to go on, but maybe we’ll get a slightly less irritating tour guide.
There were piles and piles of debris along the corridors, and even parts of a very old elevator in one area. I guess this was a way to preserve the underground by keeping all the random materials they found? It was neat to look at, but I wouldn’t have minded if they had cleaned up the cobwebs. Ick!
