Fortson Square is located in Pioneer Square at 2nd and Yesler and was dedicated in 1901 in honor of Captain George Fortson. A member of the Navy, Fortson was killed in the Philippines during the Spanish American War. A sculptural ruin was added to the triangular park in the late 1990’s to improve it.
