Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park (Seattle Unit)

The Seattle unit of the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park interprets Seattle's role as the primary outfitting and departure point for prospectors bound for the Yukon during the 1897–98 gold rush. The park's exhibits in Pioneer Square document merchant activity, shipping, and the rapid economic effects the rush had on the city. The site is part of the National Park Service and occupies space within historic buildings in downtown Seattle.
