Downtown Seattle, Commercial district in Seattle, US.
Downtown Seattle is the city's central business district with high-rise buildings, retail centers, and transportation hubs. The area is defined by structures like Columbia Center, which rises above the skyline and reflects the density of commercial development.
After the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, the district was rebuilt with stronger materials and grew rapidly. The building boom was fueled by the Klondike Gold Rush, which drove the region's economy forward.
Pike Place Market draws visitors daily with local artisans, musicians, and producers working at their stalls and stands. The Seattle Art Museum and Benaroya Hall shape the cultural life of the area, inviting people to attend performances and exhibitions.
The district is easy to navigate with buses, light rail, and a monorail connecting to Seattle Center. Pedestrians will find wide sidewalks and level ground, making it simple to explore different areas on foot.
The area contains four surviving street clocks from a time when dozens once marked the city streets. These rare remnants once served as advertising displays and now mark historical points for curious visitors.
