Seattle was quite literally built on top of itself. After the Great Fire of 1889 leveled the business district, the city raised its streets and sealed the old storefronts and alleys into a buried underground that still runs beneath Pioneer Square. Ghost City Tours leads walking tours through this layered, waterlogged history, where pioneers, prospectors, and the forgotten dead are said to linger just below the surface.
Our local guides tell the true, researched history behind each haunting — the fire, the gold rush con men who preyed on hopeful prospectors, the vice and violence of the early waterfront. Take the family-friendly Ghosts of Seattle Tour along the historic waterfront, brave the adults-only Seattle Obscura Tour through downtown's shadowy alleys after dark, or spend a 21+ night on the Haunted Pub Crawl through the bars of Pioneer Square and Pike Place.
Ghost City Tours has been telling America's darkest stories since 2012, and in Seattle that means the true history buried beneath the Emerald City's streets. Book your Seattle ghost tour today and discover the restless spirits of Pioneer Square, Pike Place, and the underground below.
