Pioneer Square
Located at the south end of Downtown and just north of Safeco Field and the Qwest Field, Pioneer Square is home to many of Seattle’s oldest historic buildings. 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.

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.
