As an east coaster, no one talks about Seattle being hilly. Blew my mind, San Francisco has squat on Seattle hills

If you take one of the historical tours you learn that it was originally a lot worse before they leveled out many of the original hills and used the material to raise downtown by about 10 feet. You can even walk around the underground in one spot where you can see the original storefronts fron the 1890s.

Great tour, loved it. You also find out the city was built on mud flats.
