Downtown Tours

Hidden Spaces/Public Places

Join us to explore hidden treasures across downtown, such as public parks, plazas and open spaces. Many of these spaces are owned by private developers but are in fact places where you can enjoy beautiful landscapes and private art collections away from the hustle and bustle of city streets. On this tour, we will cover a lot of ground to introduce you to a broad range of hidden gems. Bring comfy shoes and be prepared to discover new spots you can return to again and again.

This tour meets inside the Seattle Convention Center at 8th Avenue and Pike Street (near the Visitors Desk on the first floor, street level). 

Hidden Spaces/Public Places also features a number of stairs. Please let your guide know if you, or another member of your party, have any restrictions.

Explore the hidden spaces of Seattle with a charming outdoor seating area featuring a round wooden table and chairs, a serene stone waterfall, and lush trees. A staircase leads you to more wonders, while the "World Fresh" store stands visibly in the background.
