Why is Seattle So Haunted?
Seattle is named for Chief Sealth of the Duwamish tribe, who once occupied the area around Puget Sound. New settlers forced the Indigenous from their native lands, but a few fought back. Most notably, Kikisoblu, the daughter of Chief Sealth.
She remained in her home on the banks of Elliot Bay, where Pike Place Market exists today. Her ghost can still be seen roaming around the world-famous marketplace at night. The history of Seattle is one of hard work, as gold miners, fishers, sex workers, and loggers flocked to the city to get their piece of the pie.
Early on in Seattle’s history, a massive fire left the town in ruins, but the fledgling city came back with a vengeance as the reconstruction efforts resulted in a city that was bigger and stronger than ever.
Immigrants came from both East and West, as Chinese, German, Scandinavian, Filipino, and Italians came to town looking for jobs in a thriving economy. Seattle today is known for its seafood, tech culture, and social movements, but the ghosts of Old Seattle are still kicking under the city streets…literally!
The spirits of gangsters and sex workers are often spotted in the Seattle Underground, which runs right under the historic Pioneer Square district, the oldest and spookiest part of the city! Seattle was a hub for gold miners, sailors, and loggers passing through from the Old West, and their rebellious spirits still inhabit the many old saloons that dot the city.
Or maybe you want to take a walk through one of Seattle’s many haunted cemeteries? Whatever spooks tickle your fancy, make sure you book a spot on our Seattle ghost tours with Lizzie Borden Ghost Tours today!
Why should you tour with us?
With such a macabre history and existence under a near-constant cover of clouds, Seattle is an ideal host city for ghosts to roam. This popular destination still echoes with the remnants of tragedy and natural disasters, plagues and fires, violence and cult murders. Seattle has a beautiful culture that draws thousands of tourists each year, and a ghost tour is one of the best ways to really understand the city.
Before white settlers founded the small settlement in Washington that became Seattle, this land was home to the Suquamish and Duwamish. These two tribes of Native American people lived in peace with other neighboring tribes and collectively were known as the Coast Salish people. You’ll find their artwork in every Seattle corner shop, but there are other elements of the culture that linger in the shadows.
Seattle has a habit of drawing in many different types of tourists, people who are interested in seeing the sites and those seeking something darker. You’re here to see the place that birthed the tragic and twisted stories of Kurt Kobain, Ted Bundy, D.B. Cooper, and Mia Zapata. And while you’ll definitely snag a coffee and donut for the road, you’re here to visit some of Seattle’s most haunted buildings.

You won’t realize you’ve walked a mile in a ghost’s shoes until we release you from our storyteller’s trance.
