Site of Yesler's Pavillion
This was the site of Seattle’s first civic and entertainment center. Built by Henry Yesler in 1865, in a corner of his private orchard, the Pavilion hosted town meetings, musicals, and theatrical performances. Remodeled into offices in 1887, it was destroyed by the Great Fire of 1889. The present building was erected in 1907 by James Lowman, Henry Yesler’s nephew.
Marker is on Cherry Street east of 1st Avenue, on the right when traveling east.
