Fun Facts

Union Station was originally built in 1911 to serve as a bustling railway station for the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Company, playing a key role in Seattle's transportation history.

The station is a beautiful example of Beaux-Arts architecture, characterized by its grandiose design and intricate detailing, reflecting the opulence of early 20th-century public buildings.

After its closure as a railway station in 1971, Union Station was repurposed and now serves as an office space, preserving its historical significance while adapting to modern needs.

The square features several public art installations, including sculptures and murals, that celebrate Seattle's cultural diversity and artistic spirit.

Union Station Square is located at the edge of Seattle's International District, making it a gateway to exploring the rich cultural heritage and culinary delights of the area.
