Seattle's original downtown made up of mostly wood building dating back to 1852, replaced by brick and stone structures after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. Pioneer Square is home to art galleries, internet companies, café, nightclubs and of course world famous bookstores.
Pioneer Square is located between the International District on the east Border, the Sodo District to the south (home of Starbucks headquarters), Elliot Bay on the west and Seattle's Financial District marks the north border.
The 1960 was the start of the modern day urban renewal for area that used to be called "Skid Row" filled with an assortment of dives, dumps... pawnshops, hash houses, and dope parlors. A far cry from one of the most livable areas in downtown Seattle filled with wonderful architecture and a great sense of community.
$370,000 will buy you a historic loft in the heart of Pioneer Square filled with character, huge windows, exposed brick, hardwoods floors, updated kitchen and remodeled bath. A true loft in a boutique building located within walking distance to the Pike Place Market and downtown shopping.
