A self guided audio tour of Seattle.
Seattle is a waterfront city that is also a forest city, and that pairing gives it an unusual softness for somewhere so built up. The market at Pike Place has pulled people to the water for over a century, and the neighbourhoods fanning out from downtown each have their own character, from Pioneer Square to Seattle Center. On a clear day the mountains arrive at the horizon and the whole place seems to exhale.
In the app, 100 stops in Seattle are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
The opening lines of a few narrations, straight from the tour.
"When you look up at this structure, you're seeing a combination of brilliant ideas."
"You're standing in one of the oldest continuously operated public farmers' markets in the world."
"When you walk past this place, you might think this is where it all began."
"You're standing in front of a massive piece of Seattle architecture."
"You are standing in the Denny Triangle, looking at this massive office building."
"You're standing near a place with a very long story."
