What to do and see in Pioneer Square, Washington (WA): The Best Sights & Landmarks

August 7, 2021 Janette Largent

In Seattle you simply can’t skip the Central Public Library – a modern architectural marvel of glass grids, unusual shapes, and a “book spiral” that climbs four stories. Stroll over to Pike Place Market to visit the original Starbucks and play catch with a fishmonger. In the heart of the city lies Chihuly Garden and Glass, which will dazzle you with its colorful and delicate works. Glide to the top of the Space Needle for panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and Puget Sound.

Smith Tower

Enjoy Smith Tower like you've never seen it before. Immerse yourself in new exhibits that take you on a journey through the past one hundred years. Make your way to the top of the tower for an amazing vantage point from the Observatory, including an open-air deck that will give you 360-degree views of Seattle and beyond. Then take a moment to indulge in a Prohibition-inspired craft cocktails and shareable plates with a group of friends or your loved ones. And don't forget to make a wish in the Wishing Chair. It's the perfect selfie to post of your visit to Smith Tower.

Great self guided tour of the tower provided a glimpse of life during the prohibition.We had the opportunity to select a "character" & follow them through the tower. The views from the observatory were great! We had a fantastic lunch while viewing the sites of the city.

Capitol Hill

Beautiful Volunteer Park is at the center of this wonderfully multi-faceted neighborhood, where Seattle's gay community and student population co-exist with older residents, historical mansions, up-scale restaurants and shops.

This is one of the upscale neighborhoods in Seattle. I loved walking around browsing the shops, enjoying the greenery. Here you can find an old fashioned theater (SIFF), the Jimi Hendrix statue and much more.

Pioneer Square

Pioneer Square Park, topped by an ornate pergola, is the site of the city's oldest settlement.

Reviewed By B6871HZjamesh

A beautiful area of downtown Seattle where it all began. Very historical but a bit raw, especially in the evening, though nothing to fear. Lots of great old and new restaurants, bars, shops, bookstores and artist galleries. A highlight of the area is the National Park Service Klondike Gold Rush Visitor Center where the rush of 1898 all began.

If you have a faint interest in baseball history, you need to go. If you have an interest in fashion, you need to go. If only I had some $$$ to buy a jersey instead of just a hat (love my Rainers cap). Some said in the past that the service wasn't great, but that was not my experience at all. Highly recommend.
