You cannot do the tour on your own. Each underground is locked, and the tour companies pay rent to the property owners to go through their tour route under each property. Helpful?
The 75-minute guided walking tour begins beneath Doc Maynard's Public House, then spills into historic Pioneer Square, Seattle's birthplace, before plunging underground for an exclusive, time-capsule view of the buried city.
Seattle-area trains on Sound Transit's 1 Line were involved in collisions 92 times in 2015-2021, about once per month, based on Federal Transit Administration (FTA) data. There were 21 injuries and deaths, placing Sound Transit 15th of 22 light-rail systems.
While a car is a great option for exploring most places, downtown Seattle is not one of them. Traffic downtown gets extremely congested because of one-way streets and bus-only hours. Plus, parking is expensive. The quickest way to get around downtown is by foot, metro buses, or other public transportation.
Many neighborhoods are walkable, particularly those with large commercial areas. You can easily walk around some of Seattle's best neighborhoods like downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, and Fremont. Walking is a great option if you want to check out all the city's nooks and crannies and find hidden gems.
But there are areas you'll want to steer clear of if you're out alone at night time. Avoid downtown Seattle's 3rd Avenue, particularly between Pike and Pine, and James and Yesler. Pioneer Square, SoDo, the International District, First Hill, and certain parts of Belltown can be a bit sketchy.
Sound Transit requires fares on all buses and trains, except for youth 18 and under. Use your ORCA card or the Transit GO Ticket app for touch-free payment.
Like other light-rail systems, Seattle's operates on an “honor system,” meaning people are expected to pay before they board, but there are no turnstiles to keep them from boarding if they don't pay.
Link travels between University of Washington Station and Angle Lake Station, making 14 stops along the way, including downtown Seattle and Sea-Tac Airport. Adult fares range from $2.25 to $3.25; Children 5 & under ride free; Youth 6-18 pay $1.50; Seniors 65+ & Disabled pay $1.00.
If interested in history and seeing some of the underground, this is a great tour. Prior to taking the tour some reviews were saying they were disappointed that they didn't see more of the underground....but if they would have listened to the tour guide, they would understand why. I was not disappointed.
