Underground Seattle Tunnel Tour, Courtesy of WSDOT [VIDEO]

You don’t have to be for or against a tunnel to appreciate the “under the sea” perspective in this video from WSDOT. From huge pilings stabbing into the earth, to underground electrical vaults, an 11-foot diameter-sewage pipe, and a railroad tunnel, the underbelly of Seattle is exposed in all its glory as you tunnel to a depth of just over 200 feet. How much all this will eventually cost is the subject of a nice long story by John Stang at Seattlepi.com: “Viaduct tunnel: Will it finish within budget?”
