Sinking Ship, Parking garage and haunted place in Pioneer Square, Seattle, US

The Sinking Ship garage features a triangular shape that resembles the bow of a boat, positioned at the intersection of James Street and Yesler Way.

Built in 1965 by architects Mandeville and Berge, the structure replaced the Seattle Hotel, which stood at this location until its demolition in 1961.

The parking structure represents the transformation of urban architecture in the 1960s, standing among Pioneer Square's nineteenth-century buildings as a modernist counterpoint.

Located near downtown Seattle attractions, the multi-story facility provides parking spaces with automated payment systems and 24-hour access for vehicles.

The Kubota-Fujii family, who own the garage, initially considered it unattractive, yet it won recognition as America's most interesting parking location in 2019.
