Explore the Pike Place Market on this 75 minute exterior walking tour through the district. In the Market stands the city's first mortuary, part of an old graveyard, and a brothel that still has a red glow cast on its side. Seattle went through major topographical change spanning 30 years after the Great fire in 1889. More earth was moved in the Seattle regrade than in the digging of the Panama Canal. Some believe that it is the movement of earth, roads, structures, and graves that create Seattle's many ghost stories. This tour provides an alternate look at Seattle's unique history.  

The Pike Place Market has been voted the most haunted location in the northwest. Learn why by joining us on this night time tour. The skeptic and the believer can enjoy this historical tour. While we have been involved in paranormal research in the area, this tour is not a ghost hunt. We root our stories in history and the tradition of storytelling. The northwest's true history can be more frightening than any ghost story.

At 5:00, the Market is open and we travel through the Arcades. At 7:00 & 9:00 the Market is closed and the tour is an exterior tour. We take advantage of the nooks and crannies and travel Post Alley to share the stories.  If you are really interested in being inside a building, go back to our front page and check out the Chapel Tour which starts back up in January 2012. It has less stories and more hands on investigating inside the Butterworth Mortuary.  ~ Named one of the Top Ten US Ghost Tours in 2009 & 2010 by tripadvisor.com
