Initially, rest rooms were located in a basement below the Pioneer Square Pergola.

Seattle architect Julian F. Everett (1869-1955) designed and built the notable pergola in 1908-1909, the year of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. It was named a National Historic Landmark.

The Pioneer Square pergola was seriously damaged in 01/2001, when a US Xpress semi-truck trailer knocked the columns loose from the glass and iron canopy. This caused $3.5 million damage and the addition of a new structural steel frame. Seidelhuber Iron Works did much of the restoration work. This restoration received the State of Washington's Valerie Sivinski Award for Outstanding Achievement in Historic Preservation Rehabilitation Projects in 2003. Exterior features were rebuilt to match the original. A semi-truck trailer also bumped into the pergola on 04/12/2012, causing some damage. After the Seahawks Superbowl victory on 02/02/2014, inebriated celebrants smashed $25,000 worth of glass in the pergola's roof. Hearing of the destruction, Amanda Gallagher Quinn began a "crowdfunding" account atwhich had raised, two days later, $13,869.
