Connect with the downtown Seattle you love
We’ve all said these words: “I love Seattle.” SeaTown. And it goes beyond the surface. We mean it. Because we have a profound connection to our city — especially when it comes to downtown. Surrounded by natural beauty, downtown Seattle is rich in commerce, culture and community. Whether you visit regularly or it’s been a while, we invite you to come enjoy our center city.
That might mean exploring the new Waterfront Park and Seattle Aquarium’s Ocean Pavilion, discovering Pioneer Square’s immersive art scene, or indulging in a dim sum feast in the Chinatown-International District. Whatever your interests, there’s something for everyone to love in downtown. Come explore all that’s happening in SeaTown.
This season’s spotlight: downtown’s Historic Theatre District.
