Under Seattle, a Big Object Blocks Bertha. What Is It?

We (my family, i.e.) personally found that tour rather short and significantly overpriced at $17 for about 75 minutes... in spite of that it was packed with tourists who paid extra for priority seating at the start of the tour (which isn't worth anything in practice). A real money spinner.

Overpriced? Sure, but having been on that tour, I would regret having not taken it. Really interesting history, and where else do you get to see an honest-to-goodness sunken city? I'd pay similar money (or more) to go on a (legal) tour of, say, disused NYC subway tunnels, a deactivated nuclear plant, an abandoned mine, a shipwreck, or Kowloon Walled City (when it existed).

EDIT: Indeed, the Wieliczka salt mine (which, for me, was a similar experience to the Seattle underground) costs about $25 USD: http://www.wieliczka-saltmine.com/visiting/tourist-route/vis...

Isn't that about the price of a movie + popcorn and drink these days?
