Most of the streets in Downtown Seattle were named by early pioneers after themselves, their families, and their hometowns. The Low family were briefly honored with the renaming of 63rd Avenue Southwest to Low Avenue in 1925, but it was reverted 18 months later.

Roads and pathways on the campus of the University of Washington in Seattle are named for Washington's 39 counties.

History
A military road was built along the west side of Lake Union in the early 1860s to connect the lake to the modern settlement of Seattle, following the general path of an older trail used by Native Americans. Lake Union became a landing point for coal shipments that were hauled by boat and wagon from modern-day Newcastle and Renton and were bound for ships on Elliott Bay. A narrow gauge railroad was constructed in 1872 through the valley on the east side of Denny Hill, following the modern-day route of Westlake Avenue. The railroad was abandoned five years later and replaced in 1890 with a streetcar line that was built in less than a week by the Seattle Electric Railway and Power Company. Between Depot Street (now Denny Way) and the southern shore of Lake Union, the streetcar followed Rollin Avenue.

Street description
The downtown section of 3rd Avenue begins at South Jackson Street at the plaza adjacent to King Street Station, the city's main intercity train station. Its southernmost block is southbound-only, providing right-turn access from 2nd Avenue Extension South to South Jackson Street, and forms the western boundary of Union Station Square, a small park. After intersecting 2nd and South Main Street, 3rd Avenue South continues north as a two-way street through a section of Pioneer Square's arts district, passing several galleries and the headquarters of 4Culture. At Yesler Way, 3rd Avenue turns northwest to follow the downtown street grid and travels over the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel's Pioneer Square station as it passes the King County Courthouse.

3rd Avenue continues northwest through the financial district of Downtown Seattle, with several sets of bus stops and entrances to the transit tunnel at Pioneer Square and University Street stations. The street passes several of the city's tallest office towers, including the DocuSign Tower, the Fourth and Madison Building, 1201 Third Avenue, and Safeco Plaza; these buildings also include privately owned public spaces in the form of plazas and hillclimbs. It serves Benaroya Hall and the Midtown Post Office at University Street and passes near Pike Place Market and Westlake Park, both accessible via Pike and Pine streets.

The street passes under a skybridge connecting the former Bon Marché Building and its parking garage between Pine and Stewart streets. 3rd Avenue then turns more northwesterly at Stewart and enters Belltown, where it passes over the State Route 99 tunnel. The street passes the Antioch University campus, the studios of KIRO-TV, and several residential high-rises before it reaches Broad Street, where northbound traffic turns away. The northernmost block is a southbound-only connector between Denny Way and Broad Street in front of the Pacific Science Center, part of the Seattle Center complex. 3rd Avenue continues from downtown as part of the city street grid, with major sections to the south in SODO and to the north in Queen Anne. It does not have a continuation on the north side of the Lake Washington Ship Canal.
