Embark on the Seattle Audio Tour: Echoes of Chiefs, Towers & Innovation
Seattle’s skyline holds secrets just beneath the glass and stone. Glimpse the stern gaze of reformer Mark A. Matthews in Denny Park, cross the ground where Toyota keys once jangled and now code hums at Re:Invent, and stand before the Amazon Spheres—living domes that look stolen from a sci-fi dream.
This is your audio-guided journey through stories, rivalries, scandals, and silent revolutions hidden in plain sight. Discover corners even lifelong Seattleites overlook as you walk from statue to skyscraper to glowing greenhouse.
Which preacher shook City Hall so hard politicians still whisper about it? What lost fortune haunts the steel-and-glass towers downtown? And why did an entire team grow thousands of plants in secrecy outside the city?
Stride through shifting histories and marvels reborn. Follow this trail and feel every layer of Seattle—from rebellious pulpits to cloud-powered ambition—come alive beneath your feet.
Dare to see what most miss. Press play and let Seattle reveal itself.
