With its many art galleries, nightclubs, restaurants and unique shops, Pioneer
Square is an urban explorer’s dream.
Seattle Waterfront
The Waterfront is Seattle’s gateway to the rest of the world. Take a cruise
to some foreign land, or take a ferry ride to a Puget Sound island. Or just
stick around and experience the spectacular views of Elliott Bay and enjoy fresh
seafood. Visit the Seattle Aquarium (www.seattleaquarium.org)
or stop by one of the many unique businesses and pick up a courtesy umbrella
to use during your visit. www.seattlewaterfront.org

Chinatown-International District
The neighborhood just east of Pioneer Square is where generations of Asian immigrants first arrived in Seattle.

Pike/Pine
This vibrant neighborhood connects Downtown with Capitol Hill and serves as
a wonderful transition between the two worlds. The corridor contains a multitude
of independent businesses from art galleries to vintage furniture and clothing
stores – all with a genuine Seattle feel.
First Hill
First Hill is literally Seattle’s first neighborhood where pioneer families
established roots, and left behind a rich history of classic homes, gardens
and churches. Today, some of the world’s most respected medical and research
institutions including Swedish Hospital and Virginia Mason Medical Center call
First Hill their home.
Denny Triangle
Connecting the Retail Core to Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood, Denny Triangle is one of Downtown's fastest growing areas.
