Pioneer Square is considered by many to be the “Birthplace of Seattle” sitting in the place where many of the region’s original pioneers set up shop cutting into the forests and operating the sawmills that built what was to become the City of Seattle. The site is a central meeting place in the South end of Downtown, and serves as a hub for both tourists and the people of the city. Among the attractions in the square is this totem pole, towering over the square below. Photo: Taken at Pioneer Square in Seattle on 27 June 2010.
