Pioneer Square.

Another trolley ride. We are fortunate that where we are staying there are numerous trolley routes reachable within walking distance.
The trolley rides are interesting - one to take you along different routes and see different neighbourhoods and two to people watch. You get to observe a slice of Seattle life- the good, the bad and the ugly. As we travelled along the streets in the downtown area, particularly under the massive bypasses, we witnessed the huge homeless situation that Seattle appears to be experiencing - tent cities in the dirt wherever a space large enough can be found.
Pioneer Square - the oldest area in Seattle. Strolled the streets and alleys and went to the Klondike Museum. Very interesting and timely as we will be following the route of the gold miners up the inland assuage to Skagway.Read more
