    Westlake Station - Going North

    Westlake Station

    (59 reviews)

    Downtown

    With the recent opening of the expansion of the 2 line going to Lynnwood from Redmond, this…read moreWestlake Station (like all the other stations in downtown Seattle) now services both the 1 AND 2 lines of the Sound Transit Link system. This means that one can take one train without transfer from here to Bellevue and Redmond, crossing Lake Washington on the world's first light rail pontoon railway. My wife and I took this route while visiting our daughter and son-in-law in Bellevue, and the crossing was a routine non-event, just like it is supposed to be. My last review for this station was 2 years, at which time, only the 1 line serviced this station. Because of the way they designed the routes, the inclusion of the 2 line was seamless, requiring no station outages during the transition. My only small gripe is the signage at a major connection point at the center near the elevators, still only shows the 1 line (with its stops at the airport and university), instead of now the opening of the entire East side of Puget Sound area, accessible via the 2 line. It's confusing for visitors...better just to state that lower level is for Sound Transit, instead of explicitly naming each line, if they don't want to change the signage every time. Another big addition that occurred earlier this year (Feb '26), is the use of tap-to-pay (using a tap enabled payment card to pay for fare at the point of entry) at all stations and bus lines (like NYC and London has). We still ended up using our preloaded Orca card this trip, but can discontinue that for future (unless taking the Monorail, which still requires an Orca card). Transfers are free for 2 hours from the first tap (excluding the Monorail), with initial charge being $3. There are no gates, with the pay stations being intentionally out of the way...it really is about the honor system to tap. We also used Westlake station as the transfer point to get from the monorail on the 3rd floor of the Westlake shopping center down to the lower level where the station actually is. Connecting to the 1 line, we got to Sea-Tac airport station in 41 minutes (though from there, it's quite a walk to get to the terminal area).

    So this is a major hub station and named after the most obvious point nearby - Westlake Shopping…read moreCenter - with its accompanying plaza (often free events and music here), major shopping, and major hotels and dining. This station has had some safety issues in the past so I don't frequent it as much as I would if it weren't for that concern.

    Symphony Station - Rode from Mountlake Terrace station to Symphony station (10/22/24)

    Downtown

    I'm giving this five stars just because it can get you from the airport to downtown for just $3 one…read moreway! Waaaaay more affordable than Uber or Lyft which can be $50-$80, depending on the time of day, etc. While it takes longer, it's not THAT long, and if you time it right, you have a chill ride with money saved for lunch/dinner/shopping, etc. The train itself was clean and it automatically announces which station you're at and which is the next stop - great for anyone nervous about where you are - and there's plenty of signage showing the stops. The only thing about this particular station is that it was a little hard to find because it doesn't appear to be a train station at first, quick glance. It's on University and 2nd - look at the surrounding buildings and you'll see the subway looking tiles and where to go.

    Within walking distance of Pike's Market in Seattle, the Symphony Station stop on the 1 Line Light…read moreRail is part of the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel, about 60 to 70 feet below ground. It is named such being next door to Benaroya Hall, the home of the Seattle Symphony. The entrances to the subway system in downtown Seattle are (unintentionally?) hidden. Google will get you to the right corner, but the entrance/exit is specifically in one place. In this case, it's the SouthWest corner of the building, so had to walk around until I found signs for it...even then, it's just not as easy to find as other stations in more transit-intensive cities. You need to choose which train you want to take, before going down the appropriate set of stairs. Once on the platform, one would notice the extreme amount of space between the tracks going in opposite direction, and the lack of height from the platform and the tracks. The gap between the tracks is wide enough to handle 3 or more lanes of cars...so I wondered "That's a lot of work to dig just to allow repair vehicles to come down". Later I learned the history behind it. The Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel was initially built (dug) to handle transit buses, serving that purpose from 1990 to 2005, and then shared by light rail and buses from 2005 to 2019. During that time, it was one of only two tunnels shared by both buses and trains in the U.S. Now it is just for Light Rail, with the large bus lanes being a remnant of the past.

I can go from SHORELINE to Sea tag on the number one light rail, which is great and super easy for me and saving gas. I really can't wait until Federal Way and Tacoma are completed probably it'll take another 10 years but it's definitely gonna be worth the wait On the down side, there are not enough handicap parking spaces on each floor

    Using public transportation in Seattle…read more..... My friend told me that we were gonna catch the light rail to go to Lumen Field for the Seahawks football game, and he also mentioned to me that we could also stop by Pike Place Market to "holo-holo", as the light rail would take us all the way to where we needed to go. I guess the light rail system has been used in Seattle for sometime now, as I could see there were lots of rail stations throughout the city. The station that we used to get onto the rail was the - Angle Lake Station, because it was the closest station in proximity to where my friend lived. The Angle Lake Station had a very large parking garage. After parking our car, it was a breeze to get onto the light rail & make our way to Pike Place Market, as well as Lumen Field. I can see how effective it is when light rail is built, & utilized properly. It certainly saved us a lot of money in the sense that we didn't have to look for parking while attending the Seahawks game, as I saw some parking places charging like $90.00 for game day parking. More rail stations are still being constructed, and my friend said he couldn't wait till the rail station in Federal Way is finished.

    This is the closest Sound Transit light rail stop just East of the new 145th roundabout above I-5…read more The Homie used this frequently to commute to/from UW Seattle campus. He has also rode this nearly the entire length from Lynnwood to SeaTac. Popular stops north of downtown include Northgate, Roosevelt/65th, UDistrict/The Ave, UW/Husky Stadium, and Capitol Hill/Broadway. Downtown stops include Westlake, Symphony, Pioneer Square, CID, Stadium, and SoDo. Additional stops spanning the length include Beacon Hill, Mount Baker, Othello, Rainier Beach, Tukwila Int'l Blvd, SeaTac, and Angle Lake. Future plans include connecting to Federal Way and to the Eastside across Lake Washington to Bellevue and Redmond. For current information: https://www.soundtransit.org Anyways, we attended the Starcrawler/Garbage concert at the Paramount last night. Because of the Mariners ALCS game 3 and evening commute, we decided to take light rail and not deal with parking and traffic in downtown Seattle (10/15/25). Absolutely a smart move! Lucked out with a convenient parking spot in the garage (Note: 24 hour max or vehicle will be towed). Garage is well lit, however no visible security cameras. Make sure to secure your car and contents, lock it up! Major Metro bus routes have also stops at this station to help with connectivity. For example, The Homie uses Route 333 to connect from 145th/Aurora and/or Rapid Ride E. Great route between there, Shoreline Community College and Mountlake Terrace light rail station. We walked from parking garage to the station, tapped our Orca cards for fare payment. Single ride kiosks are available. There's elevator, stairs and escalator access to the rail deck. Note: fare enforcement will be stepped up and unfortunately there are currently no restroom facilities. Glad that this is one of two light rail stops in Shoreline. The other one is Shoreline North 185th. Great way to get around and provide an additional transportation choice for northenders!

    Lots of parking super clean well maintained economically efficient so I don't have to drive…read moreparking. Garage is safe and well maintained and well. This location is easy to find and I just love this Light Rail . It's so much easier than wasting gas and committing on the freeway.
