Bill Speidels Underground Tour

The underground city in Seattle mainly originated from the flush toilet invented in 1881. Since every household used a flush toilet, the sewage was directly discharged into the bay. When the tide was low, the drainage was very smooth, and the sewage went directly into the sea. But when the tide is high, sea water pours back into the toilet. At this time, the twice-a-day toilet eruption cycle is very troublesome for Seattleites. But a mega-fire unexpectedly solved the problem, but also razed Seattle to the ground. When people started rebuilding the city, they took into account the problem of sea water intrusion. Therefore, when the city was built, a large area on the seaside was filled up to prevent the sea water from pouring back from the toilet, so there was a dungeon. The underground city has long been abandoned, but the local government has redeveloped it in order to protect the cultural relics. Today's underground city has become a famous attraction in Seattle for tourists to visit and learn about life in those days. The underground city is located in Pioneer Square, and you need to buy a ticket to join the group to visit. Through the guided tour into the dark underground city, you can see some historical objects and real scenes left over 100 years ago. The entire visit process takes about 75 minutes.
