This video is a ride on the streetcar, from Madison St. to Broad St. along Seattle's waterfront. If you like this video, you may want to check out the next two parts, which will cover the entire Streetcar line from Broad St. to the International District, each direction.
Do you know if they're bringing the trolleys back? I loved when they were running, but the Seattle Art Museum caused them to close because they built it right where the trolley Maintainence Facility was :(

@Davrodeo I agree losing this line was just sad. If I was going to bet, I'd say its gone forever. For the simple reason. In ten or twenty years, when they finish replacing that viaduct, and finally wrap up all the construction. By that time few people will even remember there was a streetcar line there. The wires will be taken down, and the tracks long since paved over, and the streetcars will probably be in a museum somewhere. I think it would be difficult to bring them back JMHO.

did that sign say 85 cents, that pretty reasonable for a big city system

"did that sign say 85 cents"
Yep, that was a hella good deal, while it lasted. Especially since it was a tourist line. Most places like to gouge tourists. For example a San Francisco Cable car ride will set you back $5.00.
