Seattle Uncovered Waterfront Walking Tour (opens in a new tab)

Join with a local guide as they share the stories these streets don't tell on their own. You'll learn why the city burned down and rebuilt itself in a year, how the waterfront went from industrial grit to public park, and what makes Seattle's relationship with the water unlike any other city in the country. Small groups, big stories, and a walk you'll remember long after you leave. Please let us know ahead of time about any mobility restrictions. The tour includes roughly 1.5 miles of walking.
