The University Street Station is a Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel Station located under Third Avenue between Union and Seneca Streets in Downtown Seattle. Sound Transit's Central Link light rail trains serve this station alongside King County Metro and Sound Transit Express buses. It is completely underground, with entrances in the 1201 Third Avenue Tower (Third Ave. & Seneca St.), the Cobb Building parking garage (Third Ave. & University St.), Benaroya Hall (Third Ave. & University St.) and a wheelchair accessible walkway to Second Avenue and University Street. 7,900 daily light rail boardings are predicted for the year 2020.

The Second Avenue and University Street entry passage includes wall tiles with music-related inscriptions.

Suggestions have been made to change the name of the station to "Benaroya Hall" or "Symphony" due to possible confusion with University of Washington and U District stations.
