Pioneer Square totem pole, Public artwork in Pioneer Square, Seattle, United States
The 50-foot red cedar totem pole stands tall in Pioneer Square, featuring carved figures of Raven, Mink, and other traditional characters.
The original totem pole from 1790 was taken from a Tlingit village in Alaska and brought to Seattle in 1899 by the Chamber of Commerce.
The pole represents Tlingit mythology and family lineage through carved figures, though it exists outside its traditional cultural context in downtown Seattle.
Located near multiple public transportation stops, the totem pole serves as a central meeting point in the historic district of Pioneer Square.
After arson destroyed the first pole in 1938, Tlingit carvers created the current replica, which was dedicated during a ceremony in 1940.
