Seattle Lust Tour
Tour went great!
The first tour went very well - thanks to everyone who showed up. The tour now will only be offered my request. Instead of offering the tour on a regular schedule in 2008, we are incorporating some of the content into an 8pm ghost tour on Fri, Sat and Sun nights starting in August.

1st Tour, July 19th 8pm
Bring yourself and your ID (over 21) to the the GUM WALL at 8pm, Saturday July 19th for the start of the LUST TOUR. The tour is about "Flesh Avenue", 1st Avenue, and the history of prostitution in Seattle from the mid 1850's - 1970's. The first tour is a chance for me to try out the material and get a sense of how this tour needs to develop. The tour will end at a bar, so ID's are required. The cost for this first run will be $15/per person. Once it is all together it will be $20. If you are interested in joining the group send an email my way. The tour will be offered to the public starting in August.
Sub Seattle Tour
If you are interested in learning not only about Seattle's district of Sin, but a bit about labor, music, and stories rarely told then consider going on the Sub Seattle Tour, which the Underground Tour now offers. It's a 90 minute ride that takes you from Pioneer Square, to Lake Washington and through Capitol Hill. It's funny, serious and very well done! For more information go to Sub Seattle Tour
The World's Largest Brothel
The world's largest brothel was here in Seattle, at the base of Beacon Hill. 500 rooms built by the mayor in 1910, Hiriam Gill. Hiriam Gill served as mayor on two occasions. He ran on the platform of breaking up vice in Seattle's red light district, The Lavabeds, and moving houses of ill repute out of the district. The second time he ran, he promised to contain the houses back in the district as they had started to take root in other neighborhoods, like Ballard, Georgetown and residential neighborhoods. Here is a picture of the world's largest brothel:
