Explore Seattle’s underground secrets, then sip cocktails in the clouds. Your kind of Sunday? Come wander with other Aussies & Kiwis.
About this Event

Ever wondered what’s hidden beneath Pioneer Square? Or what it looks like from 35 storeys up?

Join fellow Aussies and Kiwis for a Sunday adventure that takes you from underground oddities to sky-high sips.

🕳 Beneath the Streets Underground Tour Explore Seattle’s subterranean past in a small group setting with a top-notch guide and more than a few “wait, WHAT?!” moments.

🏛 Smith Tower Observatory Bar Step into a slice of Seattle’s wild past - rum runners, typewriters, romantic superstitions, and even ties to Chinese royalty. Wander through vintage architecture, ride a lift straight out of The Great Gatsby, and enjoy carefully crafted cocktails with 360° views high above the city.

Choose to do both or just pick one - no pressure. Whether you’re a fresh arrival or a seasoned local who’s never played tourist, this is one of those “why haven’t I done this before?” kind of days.
