Pioneer Square

By Linda Tancs

Seattle’s original downtown is Pioneer Square. Boasting one of the nation’s best surviving collections of Romanesque Revival-style urban architecture, today it’s the center of the city’s art scene. It’s also where you’ll find a popular tourist attraction, the network of underground passageways that were located at ground level when the city was built in the mid-19th century but fell into disuse after the streets were elevated. Guided tours are available. This walkable, historic district is conveniently located just minutes from the Seattle Waterfront, Pike Place Market and Lumen Field/T-Mobile Park.
