Underground Tour

History, folk-lore, and unique. This part of town was built on the original ground, but city planners wanted to flatten Seattle, so they hydro-fracked the hillside and brought the dirt down into this part of town. So there's about 2 stories that are underground. Drinking tours after 6pm.
