Beneath Seattle’s rebuilt streets lies a chapter of the city shaped by fire, elevation, and rapid transformation. In the early 1890s, as the city rose above its former ground level, stone corridors were uncovered below—passageways that quietly persisted beneath the new surface.

This documentary explores what emerged during post-fire reconstruction and street elevation: underground stone-lined routes, arched corridors, and interconnected passageways whose scale and finish suggest coordinated planning. Through historical reconstruction, archival photographs, and close examination of buried infrastructure, the film traces how these spaces were revealed, used, and later obscured, even as records from the period remain incomplete or rarely discussed.

Rather than drawing conclusions, the investigation invites reflection. Why do these underground routes resemble early transit corridors, and why were their purposes never fully explained in contemporary documentation? By examining forgotten layers beneath an old city, the film considers how unexplained engineering can remain hidden within the foundations of modern urban life.
