How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

Pioneer Square, the old heart of Seattle, is one of the districts of inFAMOUS Second Son. On its tree-lined plaza the game rebuilds the ornate iron and glass pergola, lit up at dusk among red-brick buildings.

The real place

The cast-iron pergola was built in 1909 as a shelter at the corner of First Avenue and Yesler Way. A truck knocked it down in 2001, and it was restored and put back the next year. Together with the Pioneer Building and the totem pole beside it, it is a National Historic Landmark.

Visiting

Pioneer Square is Seattle's oldest neighbourhood, full of 1890s brick and stone buildings. Take the Underground Tour nearby to see the old street level buried after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, then walk down to the waterfront.
