The North American city is also known to have religious attractions. There is, for example, the Saint James Cathedral, built in a neo-renaissance style which stands out in a special way. The shrine was built in the year 1907. Already in 1916, its dome collapsed due to heavy snowfall. The dome has not been restored yet – instead, in 1917 when the cathedral was reopened, its interior was changed greatly. By the way, the interior decoration is also striking in its magnificence – particularly its stained glass windows and altar. You can also find a lot of beautiful theaters in the city, thanks to which, your journey to Seattle will be complemented by excellent impressions from watching bright theatrical shows. You should definitely follow the billboard of upcoming events in the theaters of Benaroya Hall and Seattle Children’s Theater, so as not to miss out on anything.
The sculpture Fremont Troll is a kind of symbol of the city. You can find it just under the bridge – as befits a troll (George Washington Memorial Bridge). It is notable, that the street where the troll is located was the place where a drug trade once took place. However, the establishment of an important tourist attraction here, as well as the fight against crime, did their job – the place had already ceased to have a bad reputation. Discovering Seattle, on the other hand, is the business of every curious tourist. All you need to do is try out Bill Speidel’s Underground tour. Thanks to the tour, you can walk along the old streets from which the city was developed after the fire of 1889 (as it is known, Seattle is one of those cities that was rebuilt “on top” of another).
