The Chronicle
At perfect moments in Seattle’s history an important event occurred which resulted in the creation or preservation of what today are Seattle icons. Seattle’s “can do” spirit is reflected in such places as the Pike Public Market, Pioneer Square, Space Needle, Government Locks, re-imagined waterfront, and the University of Washington. These notable places provide departure points for an Emerald City timeline excursion. Check in our tour planner →
The Residential
Neighborhoods are a special attribute of Seattle. “Appealing” and “distinct” are apt descriptors to characterize the superb residential areas of the city. Housing here is a mixture of architectural styles which makes neighborhoods visually interesting. Lush landscaping adds another striking dimension. As different areas of Seattle are the canvas for this outing the city’s hilly topography becomes very apparent. Check in our tour planner →
The Cool
In recent years prominent companies, talent clusters, and a creative demographic have propelled changing streetscapes. This makeover has reshaped different areas of the city and makes these destinations, too, encounters of city life “Seattle Style”. Check in our tour planner →
The Walk
Walking the city center offers the ultimate way to explore ambiance and varied tempos. We plan a route that offers you a potpourri of impressions… unique view perspectives, prominent architecture, interesting civic spaces, transformative development, bountiful public art, epicurean favorites, and distinct retail… Sights and insights mesh together to give you an insider’s perspective on the city’s livability and continuing evolution.

The Metropolitan Perspective
Eastward across Lake Washington multiple communities (Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond) brush up to the urban/rural divide (Woodinville, Issaquah). How close the change is one of the attractions of the metro area. In these population centers there are distinctive identities that evolved from suburban beginnings. Charming waterfront, home to pioneer tech companies, vibrant retail, collection of wineries, and picturesque Snoqualmie Falls are all components of the landscape. Westward a water crossing from Seattle’s waterfront leads to Bainbridge Island with its appealing town center and renowned Bloedel Reserve, Poulsbo with its Scandinavian heritage, and the multi-faceted Olympic Peninsula.

Seattle Land & Water
Water comprises over 40% of Seattle’s area providing a diverse shoreline of commerce, maritime, residential along with recreational enjoyment. Close-up views of floating home communities, passage under bridges that cross the waterway that bisects Seattle, and the ambiance of being surrounded by hilly topography makes being afloat on a classic wooden cruiser an extraordinary picturesque experience..

“My desire is to make your visit memorable”
Raised in Seattle, the city has been home for most of my adult life. For many years in a different capacity, I greeted business associates from everywhere who came here. Once our objectives were achieved, I responded to my partners’ wishes to sightsee in a way that they would gain a sense of why Seattle and the Pacific Northwest were so appealing to call home.
Establishing ToneyToursSeattle in 2012, I saw an opportunity to bring my familiarity, knowledge, civic involvement, and passion for everything about this place to everyone that had Seattle on their itinerary. By then the city had gained international recognition first through music and subsequently for the companies headquartered here with wide footprints.
I am awed by the way Seattle evolved into a 21st global city. I am inspired always by its topography and surrounding beauty.
Our high level of service has garnered notable travel and hospitality partners and enabled us to become host to a diverse guest list that responds to our distinctive style.
In whatever manner you engage with ToneyToursSeattle, when we part, you’ll have a some understanding of how it feels to live in the open spirit and occasional mist of Seattle – home to entrepreneurs, innovation, quirkiness, and other intangibles.
We look forward to extending a Seattle welcome to you for a few hours, a day, or longer.
