I know this is Off Subject for this board but I have a question about the Westlake Station for the Light Rail from SEA-TAC. The train arrives underground, right? Is there an elevator to get to ground level. We'll be headed out on a cruise and will have fairly heavy bags (Those boxes of wine weigh a lot!) and it would be easier to negotiate with an elevator.
Friends will meet us outside (on Pine I would imagine) with a van to take us to Pier 91.
Look at the PLATFORM map. Your train will arrive next to BAY A and BAY B. If you take the elevator next to BAY A you will exit in front of Nordstrom's. If you take the elevator next to BAY B you will exit in front of Westlake Center. (I'll be downtown tomorrow and I'll double check the elevators.)

Thanks, Vincent. That is exactly what I was looking for.

STOP PRESS!!!
I went downtown this morning and checked out the station and it's not quite as easy as I thought. The elevators from the track level only go to the mezzanine level. On the mezzanine level you will have to transfer to another elevator that is located near the Nordstrom entrance to get to the street level. (The elevator to the street level is in the upper right hand part of the Mezzanine Level map.) It won't be hard to find the elevator (follow the signs to Nordstrom) and that elevator will let you out on 5th Avenue very close to Pine Street.
