Join us as we explore Seattle through the history, context, and culture that shaped our skyline, from the college gone missing on University Street to the newest spires that vie for attention and airspace in our dense downtown core. This tour is not centered on one architectural style, but rather showcases these buildings in their larger context of time, place, and people. On this tour, you'll see a cross-section of Seattle's modern history and how architecture is a snapshot of our city's evolving look and character.
Starts: Lobby of Fairmont Olympic Hotel - 411 University Street
