About this event
What does SODO mean to you? Industrial space, maybe sports, perhaps a no-man’s land between Pioneer Square’s nightlife and the cities further south. How do we even define this territory south of downtown where the Duwamish watershed meets the Puget Sound? A liminal space that began with the natural foundation of tidal flats and the flow of a river. An urban landscape that has been literally built on the dreams of manifest destiny. It has been occupied and enjoyed by the commercial minded and marginalized alike – those pushing boundaries and those enforcing them. Take an immersive 1 mile guided walking tour that uncovers the hidden stories of SODO—the cityscape you pass daily but never truly see. Invisible Histories uses engaging storytelling and theatrical elements to bring the past to life. Guests will experience layers of history, from the untold stories of Seattle’s evolving landscapes and industries to the forgotten narratives from the depression-era Hooverville, and the energy of the 1990s underground club scene. After the tour, join Invisible Histories and MOHAI at Paseo SODO for Q&A and mingling! This tour requires walking between multiple sites on uneven pavement in SODO. For any accessibility support, or general inquiries, email programs@mohai.org.
