Pioneer Square lays claim to a handful of Seattle firsts, such as Smith Tower, the city’s first skyscraper. In fact, Pioneer Square was actually Seattle’s first neighborhood, settled by the pioneers back in 1852. Then there’s the First Thursday Art Walk, which was the first art walk in the entire nation. A less-pristine neighborhood than others on the list, Pioneer Square is a mix of old and new. Head to Bill Speidel’s Underground Tour, Central Saloon (Seattle’s oldest bar), the Iron Pergola & Tlingit Indian Totem and the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park.

Accessible by water taxi from Downtown, this corner of the city feels self-contained – its own domain, if you like, with a loveable laid-back, beach-town vibe. Free time is all about inline skating, stand-up paddle-boarding and pedalling idly – there’s real appeal in the waterfront setting. West Seattle disdains chain brands in favor of unique boutiques. If shopping’s your bag, make your way to the Junction – also known as Junction and Alaska Junction. The local nexus, it’s where life’s a slow whirl of ice-cream parlors and delis as well as a factory-fresh-and-second-hand vinyl store or two. You might dust off your bowling skills here at West Seattle Bowl. And aim to wind up at smokehouse Lady Jaye for pork-belly sandwiches on rye and a Strawberry Manilow (tequila, vermouth, fino sherry, spicy strawberry and lime). You’ve arrived.
