Klondike Gold Rush Historical Park

  Klondike Gold Rush Historical Park sits at the intersection of historic Seattle and the bustling Pioneer Square district. Established in 1998, the park commemorates the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, which spurred a massive migration to Alaska through Seattle. Visitors can explore the National Park Service’s visitor center where exhibits detail the journey of prospectors and the impact on the region. Open year-round, the park hosts seasonal programs, including guided walks from May to September. While exploring, you can enjoy artifacts from the era and towering trees like the Western Hemlock that adorn the grounds, all a stone's throw from the vibrant waterfront.
