Heritage, Harmony, and Hope: A Chinatown Odyssey

Audio guide15 stops

Beneath Seattle’s modern skyline, shadows linger in alleyways where secrets shaped the city’s soul. This self-guided audio tour through the International District uncovers stories most visitors never hear—of resilience, betrayal, and quiet rebellion. Why did a single basement doorway become infamous overnight? What whispers echo among the tea cups and tatami of the Panama Hotel? Who left tiny paper cranes hidden in Danny Woo Garden—and why did they vanish without a trace? Move from storied street corners to tranquil gardens while piecing together scandals, community struggles, and the legacies of those who dared to resist. Feel tension in old walls and hope blooming where history was nearly erased. Each stop brings you closer to the real heartbeat of Seattle, seen through vanished moments and overlooked clues. Begin your journey now and discover the hidden depths behind every shadow in the International District.
