the original downtown of Seattle got moved up 1 floor: they didn't raise the buildings, they raised the street, the old 2nd floors became first floors.* You can still visit the underground Seattle in some places.

* carefully worded to also work on European floor number systems.

Port Angeles, WA has a similar, but smaller Underground.
