Seattle ^15
I was feeling restless and eager to leave, but hesitated to depart
without the maps I had ordered. As a result, I decided to stay an
extra day.
I kept myself occupied with an intriguing underground tour of Seattle.
The city was built on tidal flats during the 1800s, which frequently
caused streets to flood. In response, the town council constructed
retaining walls to raise the street level by one story. The tour took
place beneath these streets, and it was a fascinating experience
walking along what were once ground-floor shops.
I later discovered that the maps had arrived a day earlier, but I was
unaware because no one informed me, and I never thought to
inquire. How silly of me!
