Who's Watching You in Downtown Seattle ? 

In partnership with the Downtown Seattle Association, this complimentary, family-friendly urban hike, guided by historian and author, David B. Williams, leads you through the retail core and around Pike Place Market, where you will learn about the interesting history and architecture of the Central Business District by looking at the dozens of carved and molded animals gazing out from Seattle buildings. Along the way we’ll see a zoo’s worth of beast including lions, eagles, and walruses!
