McGraw Square

McGraw Square is a small 0.01-acre plaza and streetcar stop in the Denny Triangle neighborhood. It features a bronze statue of former Governor John Harte McGraw, sculpted by Richard E. Brooks, atop a granite base. The square is bounded by Stewart Street, 5th Avenue, the Times Square Building, Olive Way, and the Medical Dental Building. Originally a 660-square-foot parcel acquired in 1911, the square was designed by the Olmsted Brothers. The statue was unveiled in 1913 and designated a Seattle Landmark in 1985. In 2011, the plaza was expanded over Westlake Avenue, adding space intended for tables and food trucks.
