Downtown Seattle

Fascinating history

Home to the world’s first Starbucks, the Space Needle, Pike Place Market and Nordstrom’s flagship department store, Downtown Seattle boasts a vibrant culture unlike any other. Underneath the city lies a network of hidden streets that were flooded long ago due to the region’s low sea level. Today’s Seattle was built on top of these secret passageways and offers everything from renowned dining and electrifying nightlife to some of the most exciting festivals west of the Mississippi.
