Historic South Downtown


  • About Us

    The Pioneer Square International District Community Preservation & Development Authority (DBA as Historic South Downtown or HSD) is responsible for preserving, restoring, and promoting the health, safety, and cultural identity of Seattle’s Pioneer Square and Chinatown-International District neighborhoods.

    HSD was created by the Washington State Legislature as the first community preservation and development authority in the state to respond to impacts from ongoing construction of major public facilities, public works, and capital projects in the two historic neighborhoods. It is governed by a board comprised of community volunteers who represent and are elected by community stakeholders from Chinatown-International District and Pioneer Square.
