Exploring Pioneer Square With Your Dog
Populus sits at 100 S. King Street in Pioneer Square, Seattle’s oldest and one of its most walkable neighborhoods for dog owners. Occidental Square is two blocks from the hotel, a cobblestoned public plaza shaded by mature trees and hosting frequent pop-up events. The Seattle Waterfront and Pier 62 are half a mile west, where a leashed walk along Elliott Bay connects north to Myrtle Edwards Park (about 1.6 miles) and Olympic Sculpture Park (about 1.7 miles). Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park are directly south of the hotel, and the surrounding sidewalks are quiet on non-game days.
