Last month when we were in Seattle, Lori and I decided to stop by Utilikilts, the company that makes those awesome, mutli-functional kilts. When we arrived at their store, there was a sign saying that they had moved to Pioneer Square. After searching around Pioneer Square for a while we finally found them located in a back alley, but unfortunately they were closed that day.
So, since we were there I decided to shoot some photos of Pioneer Square, Seattle’s first neighborhood and an area that I hadn’t really explored before. I shot shoot some photos of Occidental Park, the Fallen Firefighters’ Memorial, Smith Tower, the Waterfall Garden and a bunch of other stuff. As we were walking around we I discovered that Pioneer Square was also the birthplace of United Parcel Service (UPS) in 1907, which was an interesting bit of trivia to come across.

Seattle has added new stuff! I really need to visit my 2nd home again. .. and Trinity? Wish it was Alternative music it looks awesome!
Thought you might be interested – ever wonder who gets to live in the fabulous pyramid at the top of Smith Tower? The maintenance man. I saw a little doc about it many years ago with lots of shots of his million-dollar views from the most coveted flat in all of Seattle.
You might be able to look it up.

There is a bar around the corner from Trinity called the Backdoor Lounge. Obscure entrance and a name that always made me snicker… but it was a cool spot.
I miss Seattle. Thanks for sharing these.
