Pioneer Square

Saved from the wrecking ball by popular outcry, Seattle’s oldest neighborhood is a 17-square-block National Historic District located in the southwest corner of downtown Seattle. The original buildings burned down in the Great Fire of 1889. Its charming, red-brick buildings have been revived and now hold a great arts, café, shopping and nightlife scene. Historical highlights are the Klondike Gold Rush National Historic Park and the unique Bill Spiedel’s Underground Tour. Smith Tower, which overlooks the square, was the tallest building west of the Mississippi when it was completed in 1914.
