Seattle Pioneer Square

• Hours: Pioneer Square is an urban area that is always "open"
• Reservations: May be required for some attractions
• Cost: Free, but some attractions charge admission
• Location: Southern downtown Seattle
• How Long: Depends on planned activities
• Best Time to Visit:

Seattle's oldest neighborhood is now a twenty-block historic district, its red brick buildings home to many of Seattle's art galleries, cafes and book stores. Sights and activities here include:

• Underground Tour: A humorous, historic tour beneath the sidewalks takes you back to Old Seattle
• Klondike Gold Rush Historic Park: Commemorating those who came to Seattle on their way to the gold fields.
• Smith Tower: the tallest building west of the Mississippi when it was completed in 1914, and still one of the best places in the city to get a good view.
• Seattle Police Museum: The largest police museum in the Unites States.

Pioneer Square comes alive after dark, when visitors and locals alike flock to its nightspots, sports bars and restaurants.

Pick up a copy of "Pioneer Square Journey" at the kiosk on Occidental, between Main Street and Jackson, or at The Pioneer Square Community Association in the Smith Tower.
