About

Explore the rich and layered history of Seattle’s iconic shoreline on a Seattle Waterfront Walking Tour—a 90-minute immersive experience along the city’s beautifully revitalized Central Waterfront. Guided by local experts, this engaging tour covers approximately 1.5 miles and reveals compelling stories of Indigenous heritage, industrial development, and Seattle’s transformation into a vibrant, community-focused urban space. Walk in the footsteps of the Coast Salish peoples at ancestral canoe landings, discover remnants of the timber and railroad industries, and witness how the removal of the Alaskan Way Viaduct reshaped the landscape. Along the way, you’ll encounter public art installations, restored ecological spaces that support salmon habitat, and historic landmarks that reflect Seattle’s cultural and environmental evolution. Offered by Global Family Travels, these guided walking tours support the businesses of the Seattle Historic Waterfront Association and are ideal for families, educators, students, and travelers seeking meaningful things to do in Seattle. Recommended for ages 10 and up, this walking tour is perfect for first-time visitors and locals alike looking to connect with Seattle’s past, present, and future.
