Sometimes, when special friends come to visit, you find yourself playing tourist in your own city. This is precisely what happened when my dear friend Jill hopped into town. Back in March, when I visited her in Abu Dhabi (yes, I know, I still need to post about this!), we talked about taking the Seattle Underground Tour. SO that's what we did. Here are a few shots to give you an idea of what we saw...
We learned about the so called "seamstresses" of Seattle. And Madam Lou Graham, and her gender inclusive policies. We learned of the fires, the sewage issues (glad those are taken care of), and why the skylights we step on daily look purple now. We learned a bit about the suspected ghosts that still wander the underground and the about the rat infestation that closed the whole underground down for decades. All in all, although a bit cheesy at times, it was worth going. Even as a Seattleite.
More tourist adventures to come soon!
