One of Seattle’s most famous and atmospheric streets, Post Alley twists through the heart of Pike Place Market. Hidden among its brick walls and narrow passageways are stories of phantom figures, unexplained sounds, and some of the market’s most enduring ghost legends. Its dimly lit corners and historic buildings make it easy to understand why so many believe the past still lingers here after dark.
The Seattle waterfront has always been a place of arrivals, departures, and untold stories. Near Pier 55, guests will explore legends connected to the bay, the city’s maritime past, and the unexplained events that have made the waterfront one of Seattle’s most intriguing haunted locations. It’s the perfect place to reflect on the city’s history, mysteries, and the spirits said to linger along the water’s edge.
Today, Pier 57 is one of Seattle’s most popular waterfront destinations, but the surrounding shoreline has witnessed shipwrecks, disappearances, and decades of maritime tragedy. The waters of Elliott Bay have inspired countless stories of restless spirits, strange sightings, and unexplained phenomena that continue to capture the imagination of locals and visitors alike.
Originally built as a mortuary, the Butterworth Building has long been associated with death, mourning, and unexplained activity. Visitors and employees have reported strange noises, shadowy figures, and unsettling encounters throughout the historic structure. With its direct connection to Seattle’s departed residents, many consider Butterworth one of the city’s most haunted buildings.
