- Seattle is now four years removed from the start of the pandemic, when tourism took a nosedive. The city has not yet rebounded all the way with visitation, but has made progress.
Visit Seattle recently released their hotel occupancy rates for the month of March, which show visitation increasing since the pandemic, but not yet back up to pre-pandemic levels.

Too much crime
Try again
Like every city lol get real
Remember all the money they were given by the government
Even locals don’t go there…what do you expect tourist will go? We are in internet era. News travel fast
It’s great downtown, you should go sometime instead of just watching sad world syndrome news
Downtown has gotten a lot better recently, when I've been there in the past couple months I haven't seen many homeless
I work in downtown lol. Election year always gets people like you confused that these are permanent changes. All they are doing is sweeping the problem until election is over
I live in the city and frequent Pioneer Square (even get off the lightrail at the station **gasp**) and the waterfront. People are coming here for all of the events and via cruise ships. I'm guessing the people who "avoid it like the plague" are from the 'burbs about 40-50 minutes outside the city. Those are the folks that like to turn up their noses at anything related to city life. It's not a cesspool... maybe get down here and check it out for yourself... stop believing the media.
Haha. Come visit Seattle and get exposed to the fentanyl clouds permeating the public streets and parks.
This fear mongering over fentanyl is ridiculous, you have to be exposed to a lot more than you think to OD.
If they want tourists to come back, even locals from outside King Co., maybe clean up the crime, homelessness, and filth all over the city first. See what that does for tourism. Everyone I know avoids Seattle like the plague unless absolutely necessary, and then only for the shortest amount of time possible before getting right back out of the city and county. It's a cesspool.
Then you should make new friends who go downtown.
It's nice lol. Like every other city u go to
All the crime, drug addicts, and risks. It's not worth it.
i grew up there, sad to see now, like san fran and la, what a mess
Couldn't pay me to go there now
Not gonna happen. Dream on. Anyone who sees the downtown expect to not gonna have a good experience
Was there last week, had a great time
Y'all living in another reality.
Went there before, it was fun lol
It is dead downtown beside pike place.. so they only show pike place. Only people I see downtown when I go down there is the addicted and the dealers with a sprinkle of normal people avoiding them.
Pioneer square is nice, had a coffee there last week.
It's wild being downtown these days and seeing how dead it is compared to pre pandemic.
The place sucks and doing temporary sweeps of pioneer square won't fix it.
This is decades of stupid policy boiled to the surface from the "pandemic".
Where have you been downtown? Third and Pike? Have you seen the massive overpass from the market down to the waterfront? Have you seen the folks enjoying coffee in Pioneer Square's pedestrian areas? The tourists on Pike? The crowds I can't even get through at the Roastery? The throngs of folks at the convention center? It's coming back and not dead by any means. I know because I live in the city and also got frustrated with the amount of tourists standing in my way on the sidewalk last week. That's how I know we are getting back to normal (and I love that there are so many tourists that they're getting in my way... we need tourists).
You could hope in one hand and 💩 in the other and see what you get. Lord knows that there plenty of it all over the Seattle streets 🤷🏻♂️🤣
How about you do a Ron Desantis and have a crap covered map, really making a nuanced argument
@@williamcondon7729 Does the truth about Seattle hurt your feelings?! 💁🏻♂️
@@SNAKEEATER1776 you don’t visit downtown Seattle and yet you are somehow an expert?
@@scottcates im going to go ahead and call bs on that. That’s a classic troll move to respond with a highly specific anecdote that in no way can be verified. I’m going to say you live in Yakima.
@@williamcondon7729 why are you defending such a crappy city?
I live half an hour from Seattle and I wouldn't go there if they paid me and I sure as heck wouldn't take my wife and children down there without carrying and then what? I defend my family from someone and then I go to jail for asserting my right to self-defense. Foolish to step foot in Seattle.
Dodging bullets, hammers and knives
You forgot mechetes and hatchets
Get a grip
SeaTac bushman 😊
Try helping small business and restaurants instead of making it extremely difficult to keep their head above water. Who wants to see a drug addict taking a dump in the doorway?
Don’t come crime is high and homeless situation as drugs is out of hands
get a hoodie n don't shower if you visit, no one will ask for money or handouts. you might get some yourself, win win
I live here it's not as bad as the fear mongering posters say most say they won't set foot downtown so must not know of what they talk
Tourists need to be reminded to bring v their own bags and straws.
Downtown has gotten a lot better recently, when I've been there in the past couple months I haven't seen many homeless
Who would visit this dump ? Nobody!!!
Lol is this their attempt at humor? What a dump
Where do you live and when did you last spend any time here in the city?
@@EricaGamet I live in lake city and every time I go to seattle there is junkies homeless and needles + trash
@@EricaGamet got any more questions there Mary poppins ?
@@Ammi2255 Yes. What grade are you in? Your grammar and writing is atrocious.
