Pioneer Square Shedding a New Light

Pioneer Square has been a highlighted feature of Seattle since the 1850's. It melds seamlessly into the newer central core, encompassing the southwest region of what we consider downtown, and has a distinctive flair provided by the abundance of brick and stone that ensconces all who wander the cobbled alleyways and streets of this historic district.

Iron and ornate embellishments adorn buildings and walkways, as pubs, restaurants and galleries lace throughout the quirky community.

Art has evolved into the hot ticket in Pioneer Square, making it a hub for local artists and exhibitors. Eclectic Funky and cutting edge vibes bounce through the crowds of the monthly art walks.

From trendy nouveau riche to spikes and studs, everyone fits into this creative masterpiece

Home to the original "Skid Row" where logs were slid down the steep hills to the saw mill, Pioneer Square presents a mixed bag of intriguing, sometimes colorful elements that include rough and tumble characteristics as well as a staunch resolve to keep growing and changing with the times.

Condo dwellers can enjoy the historic designation of Pioneer Square, Occidental Park with it's constant flurry of activity, Underground Seattle, and close proximity to all things Seattle.
