Pioneer Square is situated just south of the downtown area in Seattle. A busy neighborhood filled with restaurants, book stores, antique shops, and landmark buildings, Pioneer Square is rich in history. 
Marked by Pioneer Square Park (pictured above) on 1st Avenue South and Yesler Way, and Occidental Square (pictured below) on Main Street and 2nd Avenue South, the area serves as a miniature refuge and history lesson to city dwellers and visitors. The Tlingit Totem Pole pictured above was acquired from an Alaskan tribe in 1899. There is some controversy regarding Seattle's acquisition of the pole, as it is said to have been not so much purchased from the tribe as taken without permission, with a payment of retribution made at a later time.
