The Legacy at the top with Self Guided Tours

Smith Tower is rich with romantic, rum-running history, and we love sharing it with visitors from far and wide. Learn about our roots as a typewriter tycoon’s gift to the Seattle skyline, to the wild and fast days of Prohibition, all the way up until the iconic status we’re known for today.

For over a century, visitors have come to take in the sights, sounds, and sensations of Seattle’s terra cotta time capsule, and we invite you to be the next to experience this incredible landmark and all it’s known for.
