25 years after Nisqually, Pioneer Square reckons with history and earthquakes

View descriptionShare

Seattle is in earthquake country, and our most recent big reminder of that came 25 years ago this Saturday, when the Nisqually Earthquake shook the Puget Sound region.

Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square neighborhood was hard hit, and a lot changed as a result of it.

We'll explore how the neighborhood has grappled with its vulnerability to earthquakes while preserving its history.
