The stone wall looks dofferent because they built stone walls like thst on bith sides of the street 35 feet high, then filled them in to rsise the new street up. The space narrow space between that wall and the buildings was the underground street basically.
Apparently they bricked up around the lower sections and stuff but how were they able to make a ceiling area when most had caved in when burned. Also they said most of the structures were timber frame and all I really see is a lot of brick and mortar. Interesting all the same thanks for sharing.
I did this tour with a guide who provided great information. The brick and stone structures are the original main floors of the buildings that were put up AFTER the fire. The underground section came about because the city planners decided that they needed to raise the street level of Seattle (so that sewage would actually drain away instead of coming back with the tide, which is what was happening up to that point) but that engineering project was going to take about a decade and business owners wanted to rebuild quickly. So the city allowed downtown to be rebuilt and they put up thick walls to line both sides of the street. The street section was filled with dirt and whatever else they could put in to bring the street up to the desired level (that's the image at 11:02 - a drawing of a cross -section of the street with an animal carcass thrown in). Street level was raised between 10 and 22 feet, depending on area. This created a dry moat around the new buildings, with the main floor and it's still active shops & businesses disappearing below street level. It didn't lead to a covered underground city right away because the city and the building owners couldn't agree on who should pay to create sidewalks - so there were ladders to climb down to the businesses and planks to cross from the street to what had been the second floor but were now the main floor of the buildings. Eventually sidewalks were built (there are several sections where you can see the vaulting that supports the sidewalk above) and glass prisms were added to allow light to shine down. Some buildings actually put in stairs but most did not and legit businesses gradually moved out of the lower level.
This tour is more of a public facade for the private activities and let’s say members only club that requires use of the Alters and such especially b when they’re kidding around deep in the bowels under the ground of the underground. The herd community ignoring in unity. Allies. Allied in all lies below that which the cattle care not to know. Their iq the only thing exploring deeper by the day their view lower dripping do drops away. Mmmkay
for some reason this place is oddly terrifying just the thought of being in an almost if not fully abandoned city that's underground sets me off for whatever reason
Interesting picture at 11:02 I kept trying to see better. Shows kinda the schematic for the underground street at some point or something. Interesting.
Don’t care, I’ll still be going on the tour if I go to Seattle. The remains of the original city of Seattle sitting below the current city is the single raddest thing I’ve ever heard and I want to experience it.
escape from the tour guide and show the parts of it they do not want us to see! a whole city they just built on top of it hundreds of years ago! What was a huge city doing there so long ago? it does not fit into what they tell us in the hisstory book.
I have researched this because I had the same questions as you! Into further research i found that Seattle wasn't the only city that burned in 1889! Chicago also had a city fire in 1889! As a couple other cities and towns .look it up for yourself 🙃 pretty weird...
@@playfultopnotch Yep. Trying to remove the old that had been there for decades/centuries prior. The narrative we’re given is laughable. I watched another video on the history of Seattle that was hilarious. I wonder if the guy narrating it actually believed it?
Looks like a nature rock wall! This is normal different for more stability and u can use all stones. I think they are much older than the brick walls. hope u understud my bad english^^
I've actually seen something like that underneath an old hangar at Boeing field. It was a parking garage that you descended into and then it turned into both an auto chop shop and an exotic import goods warehouse, with some moldy offices at the other end. No doubt the downtown area has similar.
@@DrMackSplackem There's a absolute ton of sealed off sections of the underground, I keep going back to try to find ways in but am too scared if the homeless
@@xYoungExodus Huh. I'm not sure what to make of that, as the homeless usually retreat into the safest, nearest dark corner to enjoy their intoxicant of choice, free from hassle. Plus, this is way, way south of downtown. What I saw was a bit different. In fact, when we came across it, there was nobody but us in the whole place. However, it was obvious that people were hard at work there, probably mere hours before and on a daily basis. Rows and rows of stripped cars, hallways adorned with exhaust-pipe bending facilities, an area with dust-covered exotic Japanese furniture and ceremonial drums guarded by one of those screens that you see a mall shop put up after closing time, etc. Things like that, you know. I wouldn't have even ventured beyond the barricades leading in if not for the fact that myself, my girlfriend at that time, and her friend needed to relieve ourselves, and with no obvious accommodations at this charity/food drive/ fashion show/rave-like venue, we had no other choice. The ending to that story is that we walked the whole length of the underground facility for a long time, and ended up having to piss on the carpet of a decrepit office space, which felt alright, considering the extreme water damage there. Oh yeah, on the way back, we found the actual bathroom, but it wouldn't have changed anything. It was useless, too.
Daniel Guertin this is the Seattle underground tour, if you just google it you can find tickets quickly, tickets online are $2-$3 cheaper than at the door.
Firstly Don't touch the walls. DUH Secondly It's possible the air could make you sick. But if you know you're immunocompromised, I'm sure you wouldn't go without protection anyway.
I'm going to have to watch this on mute because that guy is annoying to listen to. Plus I don't believe in any of the supposed history being regurgitated.

Thanks for taking this footage! I use a wheelchair so I couldn’t go down there
Its incredible that that doesn't collapse given the nature of how old it is and how it was built over.
It is being maintained

What a bunch of lies. They revise and change. The statue at 12:31 is looking swell now v

12:34. The eyes of the fern.
The elephant trunk. Just as spoken of in the scriptures of the tower and punishment.
The spirited fern. Always on watch b
They need to show all the old city
It would take years. They have no clue the size and depth.
Us plebs only get to see the same old dog and pony show. The real stuff has been bricked and covered and is off limits
Is it bad that i want to travel to Seattle, go down onto the underground city and set up camp in an area where no one else goes
fascinating content Dan Morrill. I crushed that thumbs up on your video. Always keep up the brilliant work.
13:05. ancient stone. Old. Brick.
for some reason this place is oddly terrifying
just the thought of being in an almost if not fully abandoned city that's underground sets me off for whatever reason
It's actually really cool, if you're ever in seattle, do go, it's a great fun hour or two.

So why is this all not burned down or destroyed?. Likely story and how specific it is remembered.
Interesting picture at 11:02 I kept trying to see better. Shows kinda the schematic for the underground street at some point or something. Interesting.
Love dudes narration that would be me all day long
There's a sucker born every minute - and every one of them went on the underground tour!!
Why do you say that?
@@flexhenry3 because he is dumb and just wanted to say something
@@flexhenry3 because only suckers get sucked into these expensive tourist traps
Just looked like a building site with very little of interest
Don’t care, I’ll still be going on the tour if I go to Seattle. The remains of the original city of Seattle sitting below the current city is the single raddest thing I’ve ever heard and I want to experience it.

Surprised that whole area isn't flooded when it rains heavily...
Why don't they just fix part of it for the homeless of Seattle ?

@@playfultopnotchwasnt there like an unusually dry and hot summer that year? could explain the multiple fires
I never been underground in Seattle before I was in the city with the space needle
Looks like a nature rock wall! This is normal different for more stability and u can use all stones. I think they are much older than the brick walls.
hope u understud my bad english^^
I went. It’s awesome
As above is so below
They are not showing the factory's underground

Love your video! Which tour was this exactly? Going to Seattle in a few weeks and this seems to be great!

1. Awesome footage thank you, 2. I'm just pausing at 01:33 to say wow a bucket of glue is all you need to bury an entire first level of a city. Lolol.
12:31 notice the statue has been destroyed now. ...
It’s so dirty down there. Wouldn’t there be a risk for sickness breathing in the air or touching the walls?
Did your parents ever have any kids that lived?
Firstly
Don't touch the walls. DUH
Secondly
It's possible the air could make you sick. But if you know you're immunocompromised, I'm sure you wouldn't go without protection anyway.
Leave me candy 🍬,. And whiskey.. ! Now , get out!!
Three Stooges "What a nice place for a murder"
Kinda looks like pikes place now
🎃. Unless you wish to stay???
At 2:15 does anybody else see the skull in the window?
You mean the smudge 😂
Right when I read this comment I saw it looks like a skull but it's a marking on the window
Why are you people , in my house? I don't know you people!! Get out!!
Looks like there's nothing worth going down to have a look at didn't look that impressive
I'm going to have to watch this on mute because that guy is annoying to listen to. Plus I don't believe in any of the supposed history being regurgitated.
Yeah, screaming babies, darkness and poor camera work. Why bother?
Found a better video of this tour?
