Does a secret city or fortress lurk beneath Seattle?

[Xeno]

There is an actual city buried under Seattle, however. When Seattle was initially settled most of the buildings were wooden. In 1889 a disastrous fire wiped out most of the city, just as Chicago had been devastated years earlier.


When planning the rebuilding of the city the locals decided to raise the streets several stories above where they had originally been. This left the original Seattle buried beneath the newer, brick buildings. The older portions of the town can be explored in places. When I read the OP I thought that the excavators might have uncovered some remnants of Old Seattle, buried for more than a century.

Everyone knows that beneath our cities lurk the nefarious creatures of the Hollow Earth
