About Pioneer Square and the Waterfront

Clearing an office in Pioneer Square and the Waterfront

Pioneer Square is Seattle's oldest neighborhood, running south of Yesler Way and Columbia Street to the stadiums, between the waterfront on Alaskan Way and Fourth Avenue S, with SoDo's office and flex buildings continuing south. Architecture and design firms, tech companies, creative agencies, nonprofits and public agencies make up much of the tenant base.

The stock is mostly late-1800s and early-1900s brick and timber buildings, many renovated for creative office, plus newer mid-rise buildings near the waterfront and the stadiums. Older buildings often have small freight elevators, sidewalk vaults and alley or curb-only loading, so clear-outs depend on measuring elevators and stairs and planning curb time carefully.

Local best practices

Planning a Pioneer Square and the Waterfront move-out

What experienced facilities teams account for in this district before the first desk comes apart.

  1. Check the Mariners, Seahawks and Sounders schedules before booking, since game days at T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field close streets and fill curb space across Pioneer Square and SoDo.
  2. Measure freight elevators, stair turns and doorways in historic buildings before the move, since many cannot take long panels or large conference tables.
  3. Get an SDOT Temporary No Parking Zone at least 24 hours ahead when trucks must stage at the curb, and avoid loading over sidewalk vault lights.
  4. Plan waterfront routes around Alaskan Way traffic and Colman Dock ferry loading peaks, which back up cars and trucks during commute hours.
  5. Separate electronics from furniture and send them to a recycler, since Seattle bars electronics from the garbage in its utility service area.
