About the Tour
_______________
Stories of early Madames are the juicy bits of many Seattle tours. The Seattle Lust Tour goes beyond those early years and looks at how sexuality has defined this city through wealth and corruption and into the political movements of the 1970s. Participants are escorted along “Flesh Avenue” (First Avenue) and entertained with the history of Seattle’s “lustier” side. What today are condominiums and restaurants was once a thriving community of flesh in one form or another: on display in the peep shows, porn theaters, and available on the streets as well. Very little of Seattle’s “Flesh Avenue” exists today however, Seattle will appear entirely different after taking this tour.
The Seattle Lust Tour is produced by the popular Market Ghost Tours in Pike Place Market. It has been offered privately for the past three years. The content of the tours has been gathered from newspaper articles, books, crime reports, and personal experiences.
The Seattle Lust Tour is offered Friday and Saturday nights at 8:00 PM. Tours are 75 minutes long and cost $17.50 per ticket. You must be over 18 to attend. The tour begins at 1410 Post Alley which is located in lower Post Alley below the Market Theater and the Gum Wall.
" Did you know Seattle used to be quite the slut back in the day?
I sure had no idea! This 75 minute tour took us all around the original "Sin City" of the Emerald City: Pike Place Market. Our tour guide was very entertaining with her oral--er, I mean--stories of what went down around the market ranging from the brothels and peep show businesses to sex scams that happened right where Hard Rock Cafe now stands. After this amusing tour, I personally cannot look at the Starbucks logo the same way as before. It was also interesting to learn how the schools in Seattle got their funding in the first place too...I won't exactly say how but I'm sure you might have an idea.
Sure the price might seem a little steep but it's a fun tour to go on with a threesome or more for the hell of it. Make sure you have a few drinks before you go, it'll get you in the mood. ;) " - Samantha, yelp.com
