A single pergola, raised in 1920 for the Seattle Harbor Department, gives this small corner of Alaskan Way its character. The Washington Street Public Boat Landing is a compact historic park at 199 Alaskan Way S, on the edge of Pioneer Square and just south of the Washington State Ferry Terminal. The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which makes this one of downtown's most storied stops along Alaskan Way.
The 1920 Harbor Pergola
Picture the site under its original name, the Naval Shore Station, when the Seattle Harbor Department commissioned the pergola that still defines it. The structure went up in 1920, and it is the reason the landing earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today the site is counted among the landmarks of Seattle's Pioneer Square district. Seattle Parks and Recreation also lists it as a city park.
