Captured in 1970, this photo shows two icons of Seattle’s rebuilding era after the Great Fire of 1889: the Pioneer Building standing proudly at First & James, and the elegant Pergola watching over Pioneer Square across the street.

For generations, these landmarks have witnessed changing streets, shifting skylines, and countless Seattle stories. And somehow, they still make Pioneer Square feel timeless.

1967 — Volunteer Park hosts Seattle’s first Be-In.

Officially called the Chief Seattle Flower Potlatch and Isness-In (yes, really), the gathering pulled a crowd for live music, picnics, and a long afternoon on the grass.

Six local bands played while people lounged, strummed guitars, and passed the time however they felt like it.

No tickets, no real structure—just show up and stay awhile.

in 1965, a 6.5 magnitude earthquake shook Western Washington for nearly 45 seconds, leaving destruction in its wake. Pioneer Square was hit hard, with bricks falling and buildings damaged.

The past didn’t stay buried—come see what’s still standing (and what’s not) on the Beneath The Streets Seattle Underground Tour. Booking link in bio or at www.beneath-the-streets.com.

Merchant's Café has been part of Pioneer Square since the late 1890s—evolving from saloon to café, with chapters as a brothel, hotel, and jazz spot along the way. During the Klondike Gold Rush, miners passed through its doors with gold dust in their pockets, sometimes trading it for cash at F.X. Schreiner’s makeshift “bank.”

This photo from around 1916 shows the café’s street-facing cigar counter—one small glimpse into a place that’s seen just about everything.

Come discover Pioneer Square with us! Booking link in bio or at www.beneath-the-streets.com
