拓荒者广场
拓荒者广场(Pioneer Square)是美国华盛顿州西雅圖一个街区,位于市中心的西南角。此处曾经是该市的心脏:1855年,西雅图的创建者定居于此。取代在埃利奥特湾(Elliott Bay)那一边只有6个月的居民点Alki Point。街区的早期建筑大多是木结构,几乎全部毁于1889年西雅图大火。到1890年年底,已经建起了数十座砖石建筑物;这些19世纪后期的建筑大多为理查森罗曼式,构成了该街区的建筑特色[2][3]。

这个街区得名于第一大道(First Avenue)和 Yesler Way路口附近的一个三角形的小广场,最初称为Pioneer Place[4]。拓荒者广场-滚木路历史区(Pioneer Square-Skid Road Historic District)是包括广场和邻近的街块的历史区,被列入国家史迹名录。
拓荒者广场街区缺乏明确的边界,大致西到阿拉斯加路(Alaskan Way),超出部分是埃利奥特湾的码头;南到国王街(King Street),超出部分是SoDo;东到第五大道,超出部分是国际区(International District);北面超过Yesler Way以北一辆个街块,超出部分是市中心其余部分。由于Yesler Way 是两种不同布局的边界,Yesler以北的街道网格与该区的其他街道并不衔接(也不符合指南针),所以该区的北部边界沿着许多街道曲折延伸。
在一些地方,拓荒者广场-滚木路历史区超出了这些边界,包括第四大道以东的联合车站(Union Station),以及国王街以南的几个街块[5]。
