Pioneer Square has a high violent crime rate and a high property crime rate for Seattle.
Seattle's oldest neighborhood has enjoyed a resurgence in the past several years. Once a grimy part of town (homeless are still a common site in its small parks), the revitalization has filled its historic brick buildings with popular restaurants and art galleries.
Pioneer Square has one of the highest concentration of bars in the city. The neighborhood is packed with singles, so the nightlife here has a meat market feel. Wamu Theater hosts major musical acts throughout the year.
Directly south of Pioneer Square are the two stadiums where Seattle's professional football, soccer, and baseball teams play so on game days you'll get fans coming through.
Pioneer Square is bordered on the north by Downtown Seattle, on the east and south by International District, and on the west by Puget Sound.

It's about Tuscan Finocchiona salami, studded with fennel seeds, and the best spicy sopressata I have ever tasted – complex, slightly smoky, and a vivid red. Hold up a piece of any one of Batali's salamis and you'll see a carnal kaleidoscope, with bits of rosy hues and solid or clear whites, a slice of careful handiwork.
It’s the only way to tour the interconnecting tunnels of the world-famous Seattle Underground.
Tat's Delicatessen strives to be an authentic reproduction of the East Coast deli experience in both product and atmosphere.
Blending different types of coffee from various parts of the world is a passionate Italian tradition.
