Victor Steinbrueck Park is a photograph-inviting location at the north end of the Pike Place Market. This 0.8 acre park provides a spectacular western view of Elliott Bay, Puget Sound, and in the distance is the Olympic Mountain range. The park is named after a mid-century Seattle architect and artist, Victor Steinbrueck, who was instrumental in the preservation of Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square.
It is a small park offering spectacular views of the Washington State Ferries, West Seattle (the landing site for the first Seattle settlers), and the famous Seattle waterfront.
This park was originally landscaped in 1982 as Market Park. Two cedar totem poles, designed by Victor Steinbrueck himself and carved by James Bender, were added in 1984. After Steinbrueck's death in 1985, the park was renamed to honor Steinbrueck’s leadership in preserving the Public Market.
