I stumbled upon this audio walking tour, and it was the best experience. I not only got to see some of the stand out attractions, but also. Some of the staple buildings and theaters of Seattle. It really gave me a sense for the culture in the city. I especially loved the $9 price tag. Thank you thank you! -Cybill
