Pioneer Square, located in the southwest corner of downtown Seattle, marks the spot where the city’s founders first settled in 1852. This vibrant district is named after a small, triangular cobblestone plaza known as Pioneer Square Park. The park features a bust of Chief Seattle, an ornate pergola, and a totem pole. Today, visitors can explore a mix of historic architecture, bustling shops, and lively nightlife, making it a dynamic area that blends the old with the new.
