Pioneer Square, Seattle 

Seattle's first neighborhood and historic district has so much to offer. Whether it be coffee shops to  meet with a new friend, a venue to see a local concert, or discovering Seattle artists during an art walk, Pioneer Square has everything you need for your visit to Seattle.

Every first Thursday, wander through galleries, book stores, and local markets. Occasionally you can catch a free concert or event throughout Occidental Square.

Sunsets glow against the red brick buildings, making it a beautiful walk and day!

Two more World Cup Games are scheduled in Seattle. Watch Belgium v Senegal today at 1pm. Last Seattle game is July 6!

Seattle became a watch party this month with bars, restaurants, and parks showing the games all day. Not sure where to watch?

Pier 62 has a barge off of the dock with a large screen. Watch the games along the Puget Sound with views of the Olympic Mountains.

Westlake Park and Occidental Park both have screens set-up as well and are only a short walk from the hostel. Pioneer Square is near the stadium, so bars over there have been busy with fans.

We, of course, will set up our projector again while offering free beer which started at 9am! Don't miss our dinner tonight at 7pm!!

Head over to some of the bars/restaurants in the neighborhood to keep up with the FIFA games.

Staying with us for Seattle's first World Cup game tomorrow?

Pregame with us before walking down to the Stadium starting at 9am. Not going to the game, no problem! Watch the game with us in the common room at noon.

Either way join us after the game for a communal taco dinner at the hostel!

Summer is almost here!

With the sun out, and the temperature into the upper 60s, start planning your next trip to Seattle before we book up.

The World Cup is coming to Seattle in a couple months, so planning ahead is crucial either for this or timing other trips.

Book online at greentortoise.net for the best rate.
