Pioneer Square is home to the Seattle Underground. During the 19th century the street level was raised so there are literally streets underground in Pioneer Square. Once the streets were raised the original street level fell into disuse. Now there are walking tours available that will take you “underground” to see the street level from the mid 1800s. The Seattle Underground is a must see attraction for everyone who visits the Emerald City.
