PIONEER SQUARE PARK & PERGOLA
At Pioneer Square Park, Seattle’s first permanent settlement, historic elements
include the totem pole from the Tlingit American Indian village (1890), the Pioneer
Building, constructed just after the Great Fire of 1889, and the Pergola (1905),
designed to shelter passengers waiting for the cablecar that used to travel along
Yesler Way.
WATERFALL GARDEN
Located at Main and Second
This secluded, lovely park offers an oasis for sightseers, shoppers, and Pioneer
Square locals with a majestic waterfall and surrounding seating. A popular lunchtime
spot, Waterfall Garden is also wired with power outlets for those wanting to plug
in outside. Privately built and maintained by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, Waterfall
Garden marks the birthplace of the United Parcel Service.
OCCIDENTAL PARK
In the heart of Pioneer Square, Occidental Park showcases Pioneer Square’s history
through a historic glass pergola with heritage panels, towering totems, and the
Fallen Firefighter’s Memorial. Sidewalk cafes and local businesses adjacent to the
park link the cobblestone-lined space to the amenities in the neighborhood. In the
summertime, tables and chairs are placed in Occidental Park to provide seating for
residents, employees, and visitors to the neighborhood.
