Link Westlake Station

Here's that light rail station entrance I mentioned earlier, tucked rather non-descriptly into the side of the Macy's. One common criticism of the Downtown Seattle light rail stations is how hidden and hard to find their entrances can be -- Sound Transit has tried to address that recently with new signage (like the big window decal seen here), but of the 5 (I think) entrances to this station, even I can only reliably find this one and the one across the street, and I'm a transit fan! For tourists, I imagine this area can get them hopelessly lost. (Also of note, the accessible (elevator) entrances are separate from the main entrances, and are even more hidden -- I'm surprised there hasn't been more outcry from the disability community about that.)
