Downtown Tours

Greatest Hits: Chart-Toppers and Heart-Stoppers

It’s a new riff on the city as we focus on the construction, context, and culture which shaped our skyline, from golden oldies like Kirtland Cutter’s Rainier Club to popular favorites like the Rem Koolhaas’ asymmetric, cantilevered Central Library. Featured stops include the Fifth & Madison Condominium/901 Fifth Avenue Plaza and Seattle City Hall. On this tour, you will develop an appreciation for the social forces which shaped Seattle and our built environment.

This tour meets in the lobby of Rainier Square Tower, 1340 4th Ave, Seattle, WA 98101.
