Perhaps no other North American city rocks quite as hard as Seattle – the celebrated birthplace of grunge music – where artists such as Ann Wilson and Kurt Cobain first got their start. From its extensive rock pedigree to its growing hip-hop and electronic music scenes, the sights and sounds of ‘Jet City’ are revealed on a new 2.5-hour tour courtesy of Seattle Urban Adventures.

The Seattle Music Tour by Foot – which makes stops at the city’s renowned rock clubs, with time leftover to take in the talented buskers of the Pike Place Market – was the subject of the latest episode of Getaway, the highest-rated travel show in Australia, with approximately 1.2 million weekly viewers.
The full episode, which aired on Thursday August 19th, was presented by famous Australian singer Delta Goodrem and can now be viewed online.
Led by Seattle Urban Adventures’ Seattle guide Dan Moore, the Getaway special delves deep into the city’s music culture – exploring everything from the history of Sub Pop Records (the indie label that launched Nirvana into stardom) to its famous parks and landmarks. Along the way, viewers can catch sight of music venues such as the Crocodile, memorials dedicated to musical legends including Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix, and visit eclectic neighbourhoods like Fremont and Capitol Hill, which are positively buzzing with entertainment of all varieties.
Whether you’re looking for a trip down musical memory lane or a glimpse into future sounds, Seattle Urban Adventures have something to offer you. And if you don’t want to take our word for it, just ask Delta Goodrem!
