Description:
Are you ready to experience the scary side of Seattle? It’s not all lattés and grunge rock. On the “Seattle Ghost Walk” you will visit thirteen spook-tacular sites on Capitol Hill, one of Seattle’s oldest neighborhoods. There are eight bona-fide haunted places, including the famous Harvard Exit Theatre that has been featured on TV, as well as less publicized (and perhaps more terrifying) haunts. You will pass two colleges on the route, both with their resident ghosts, and one old hotel where out-of-towners aren’t the only souls enjoying the facilities. In addition, you’ll pass five other creepy sites, including two cemeteries. In Lakeview Cemetery you’ll stroll past the final resting places of many Seattle pioneers and visit the graves of martial arts legends, Bruce and Brandon Lee. At the little-known Grand Army of the Republic Cemetery, you will find the graves of Civil War veterans. Dogs must be leashed and owners must obey scoop laws. Strollers and wheelchairs will have some difficulty.

Directions:
I-5: Southbound: take exit 165A to James; turn left onto James.
I-5 Northbound: take exit 164A to James; turn right onto James.
Both Directions: Drive up the James Street hill and move to the left lane. At Broadway turn left. Drive for one mile, (passing one QFC at Harvard Square), to the start point at a second QFC at 417 Broadway East. Underground parking at store or on street parking.
