The park celebrates the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-98 in the Canadian Yukon. Tens of thousands of people flocked to Seattle's commercial district, which is now Pioneer Square, invigorating the city's economy and boosting Seattle to become the financial center of the Pacific Northwest. Visit the Klondike Gold Rush Museum for more information on this spectacular movement that helped shape the city of Seattle as we know it today.
