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 was the northern terminus of Central Link from 2009 until the opening of the University Link extension in March 2016. It is completely underground and has several entrances along Pine Street between 3rd and 6th Avenues, along with direct connections to the basement levels of Westlake Center, Nordstrom and Macy's. 8,700 daily Link light rail boardings are predicted for the year 2020.
The station was opened in 1990, with the completion of the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel, and was originally served only by dual-mode buses. Light rail trains began serving the station in 2009, after a 2005–2007 rebuilding and retrofitting of the station and tunnel.
