Pike market was our first stop this morning, but there was no sign of any traders throwing fish to each other. Maybe they only do that when tv cameras are nearby.
After a bit of shopping, we went up Seattle's tallest building, the Columbia Centre. It's the big black building in the centre of the skyline. It's taller than the Space Needle, a third of the price, and about ninety per cent emptier. The staff (actually there's only one), are about four-hundred times ruder, but the views are great.
From there we went to the pioneer district, and went on the Underground Tour. A century ago, to even out the hills they raised the street level in this part of town, leaving the ground floor of the buildings as the basement, with underground pavements outside.

Hi guys!
That underground tour's great isn't it? I went on it a few years back. Hope you're having a great time. Loving the blog.
That's why we did it! I know it was years ago that you were here, but I remembered you saying that the underground tour was well worth doing.
