Occidental Square
Shaded by the leafy London Plane trees of Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square District and paved with classic red brick, downtown’s Occidental Square was established in 1971. More than 40 years later, DSA is ensuring Occidental remains a vibrant place to gather or stroll through. Through an agreement with the City of Seattle, DSA manages this iconic park, along with Westlake Park in downtown’s retail core. We provide full-time security and staffing, daily activities, art installations, music, food trucks and more.
