Westlake Station is a Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel Station in Downtown Seattle under Pine Street between Third and Sixth Avenues, served by Sound Transit and King County Metro buses and Central Link light rail trains. It is the northern terminus of Central Link until the opening of the University Link extension around 2016. It is completely underground, with entrances from Westlake Center, Nordstrom, Macy's and on Pine Street between 3rd and 4th. 8,700 daily Link light rail boardings are predicted for the year 2020.[1]
Facilities
The Metro Customer Stop provides customer information and sells transit passes. It is located on the west end of the mezzanine near Macy's[2]
Transit Connections
There is an elevator from the station to the Seattle Center Monorail at the third floor of Westlake Center. Several entrances are near the southern terminus of the South Lake Union Streetcar and near transfer points to surface buses toward Belltown, Queen Anne Hill, Magnolia, Fremont, Shoreline, Green Lake, and Redmond, among many other locations.
At the opening of Link Light Rail to the Eastside (projected as 2023), Westlake Station will serve both the Central Link and East Link lines.
