Beneath Seattle’s moody sky, towers rise with stories carved into glass and concrete—hints of 1970s ambition and bold architectural bets most visitors stride past without a second glance. Let this self-guided audio tour lead you into the heart of downtown, where every skyscraper has secrets, scandals, and surprising twists hiding in plain sight.

What heated debate nearly toppled an ambitious plaza project before it even broke ground? Who plotted beneath Rainier Tower’s gravity-defying base when the city was gripped by recession?

Why does one shiny floor in Puget Sound Plaza stand out from all the rest—and whose wild idea was that, anyway? Move between soaring giants and shadowy corners as Seattle’s forgotten drama and restless innovation spark to life with each step.

Ready to hunt for hidden truths above street level? Begin your journey now, before another story slips into the clouds.
