Underground Tour

Have you been to Bill Speidel's Underground Tour of Seattle? If you haven't, I highly recommend it. Especially if you like dingy, dark, drippy, stinky secret underground tunnels. The Underground was made when Seattle elevated its streets and buildings to stop the tide from sweeping in after the great fire, except they didn't elevate the sidewalks. Rather, after everything else was elevated, they just paved over the old sidewalks to bring them up to higher level. The higher level is what we see today, however the creepy underground tunnels still exist and that's what the tour is about: exploring antique, smelly tunnels! Plus if you don't like the idea of several cars and people tromping above head, a few blocks away is the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, which has really yummy fancy chocolate and a good deal on ice-cream: $3 for a really big scoop of ice cream and $4 for two. (But a warning: if you don't like your salty with your sweet, don't get the sea-salted caramel. If you do fancy that, you'll love it.) I like the Madagascar Vanilla best, but the chocolate was also good. Hope you go check things out!
