Seattle has a Dodgy Past

Did a circuit on the hop-on-hop-off bus. Covers central city, so not as big a tour as we have had. It still gives a good feel for the city.
Hopped off at Pioneer Square for the underground tour. Well worth it. We get an entertaining talk about the history of Seattle, and then a wander around what appears to be abandoned basements in the area.
There is a lot of toilet humour, so clearly I was enjoying myself.

So, I think we covered the hilights of Seattle, and would recommend the same to anybody coming for the first time:
Boeing Factory Tour
Argosy Lock Tours
Underground Tour

We are told that the Space Needle is a must do for Seattle, and more tourists go up there than any other event.
Realistically, though, been up one revolving tower, been up 'em all. The only difference is that this one looks like a flying saucer with some knitting needles wedged up it's arse.
