Pioneer Square
general info | photo gallery | map & directions
The original Seattle downtown, Pioneer Square is made up of six city blocks of restored century-old buildings. They now house shops, restaurants, offices, nightclubs and galleries.
Pioneer Square comes alive after dark. The historic district becomes entertainment district, with one of the city's liveliest collections of nightspots, from sports bars to hard rock taverns to romantic eateries.
When the sports fans and the club crowds depart, Pioneer Square reverts again to its leisurely pace. Pioneer Square is rich in history and lore, examined in spirited detail on the popular Underground Tour which visits the eerie sunken storefronts of what was ground-level Pioneer Square before the Great Fire of 1889. Smith Tower, which overlooks the square, was the tallest building west of the Mississippi when it was completed in 1914.
