explore pioneer square
Welcome to the Original Seattle Neighborhood – rich in history, arts, culture, and food!
On 5/22/2026, Chief Seattle Club, will be producing a special event in Pioneer Square called the 2026 Memorial Walk. Pioneer Square has been chosen as the location for this event because this is where our organization serves the chronically homeless Native community. The walk is held in honor of our relatives who have passed. We host this event every year in this neighborhood and it’s important to us that we notify our Pioneer Square community of our approaching annual event.
Chief Seattle Club is a 501(c)(3) registered organization dedicated to physically and spiritually supporting American Indian and Alaska Native people. At our Day Center in the Pioneer Square district of downtown Seattle, we provide food, primary health care, housing assistance, legal services, a Native art job training program, and opportunities for members to engage in cultural community-building.
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
Event hours are from 9am until 12 pm on 5/22/2026.
We will be loading in beginning at 9 am on 5/22/2026 and will load out until 12 pm on
5/22/2026.
We will leave the neighborhood as we found it: any litter and recycling will be handled by those participating in the walk and discarded in Seattle Public Utilities containers along the way.
During the event hours, we expect between 50 – 150 attendees.
No streets will be closed for this event. See the attached map for specifics.
We will have amplified sound during the hours of 9 am to 10 am on 5/22/2026.
We will be using megaphones to make small announcements and speeches, sing songs,
and recite stories or poems. See attached map for locations of the amplified sounds.
We are working closely with the City of Seattle Special Events Committee to minimize the impacts of the event. Our goal is to create an enjoyable and positive experience in the neighborhood. Chief Seattle Club is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization.
