Читать книгу Spooked in Seattle - Ross Allison - Страница 13

Pioneer Square is the birthplace of Seattle and may be thought of as the city’s first neighborhood. With its tumultuous history, this area may also be one of Seattle’s most haunted. Conflict between Native Americans and the pioneer settlers, the Great Seattle Fire, and even more recent tragedies have left their mark on this neighborhood. From untimely deaths to brutal murders and hangings of innocent people, Pioneer Square has its share of pain.

Along with the neighborhood’s rich history, this area holds a number of attractions. As the home of Seattle’s nightlife, Pioneer Square has a vast collection of art galleries, shops, bars, and restaurants. It is also one of the most architecturally diverse neighborhoods in the United States. Some of the must-sees of the area include the Pioneer Square Totem Pole, the “Sinking Ship” parking garage, and the statue of Chief Seattle.
