| Description |
THIS IS ONLY FOR ADVANCE GROUP SALES. The public schedule will be up by the end of November 2009.
The Market Ghost Tours are the stories of the people that lived on the land before the Pike Place Market, like Princess Angeline, Chief Seattle's daughter, and those have recently departed but still remain in the Arcades. Within the Market, Seattle's first mortuary stands, the remnants of a graveyard have been found, and an old brothel still has a red glow cast on it's walls.
The hour+ ghost tour of the Pike Place Market takes people through the different haunted locations in the District. Each story on the tour has been given a thorough vetting, and the owner of the tour has done countless hours of historical research about some of the experiences in the Market. Seattle is not unique in its many stories of ghosts, every city shares stories. Seattle is unique however in that it went through major renovation for 30 years after the Great fire in 1889. Some believe that it is the movement of earth, structures and graves that create Seattles many stories.
The Market Ghost Tour received the title: #2 Ghost Tour in the US by Trip Advisor in 2009. The tour had record attendance the same year, thanks in part to mention by CCN online, The Chicago Tribune, and coverage by local media in the Northwest. The ghost hunter and the historian can both enjoy this tour and learn a bit about Seattle's eccentric history.
"Terrific fun. Whether you're a local who wants something entertaining to do at night, or if you have an out-of-town guest visiting, it's a fun and educational tour. I learned a lot about Pike Place and areas of downtown & Pioneer Square. And it's not boring history, it's all very entertaining (brothels, murderers, etc). I would do this tour multiple times. I definitely would like to do it as the sun goes down earlier in the fall, so that it's night time during the tour." - yelp.com review
