Controversial paens to the military-industrial complex aside, the underground light rail stations are going to be beautiful. The downtown transit tunnel, now that it’s reopened, is equally beautiful. Most transit systems have stations that are brutally efficient but not much fun to look at. Seattle’s, on the other hand, will be a truly amazing work of public architecture and public space of the kind that we have far too little of.
The combination of the light rail station and the new Cal Anderson park will be an urbanist’s paradise.
