University Street station is a light rail station that is part of the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel in Seattle, Washington, United States. The station is located under 3rd Avenue at University Street, near Benaroya Hall, and is served by Sound Transit's 1 Line. It is located between Westlake and Pioneer Square stations and has surface connections to buses operated by King County Metro and other providers.

The station consists of two side platforms situated under street level, with two mezzanines connecting to the surface. It was designed in the style of high-tech architecture and includes several pieces of public art added during construction and later additions. Trains serve the station twenty hours a day on most days and the headway between light rail trains is six minutes during peak periods, with less frequent service at other times.

The transit tunnel opened on September 15, 1990, and was used exclusively by buses until 2009. Along with all other stations in the transit tunnel, University Street station was closed from 2005 to 2007 for a major renovation to accommodate light rail. Link light rail service to the station began on July 18, 2009, and bus service ceased on March 23, 2019. It is planned to be renamed to Symphony station in 2023, ahead of the opening of the 2 Line.

Location

University Street station is located under 3rd Avenue between Union and Seneca streets in

Rainier Square shopping center, and Union Square are all located east of the station along 5th Avenue.[2][6][7]

History

Early proposals

The Metropolitan Tract, historically the northern boundary of downtown Seattle during its early decades, was offered for development shortly after the

comprehensive plan for the city of Seattle, including a rapid transit system centered around a "trunk" subway under 3rd Avenue, passing through Downtown and the Metropolitan Tract, towards a new civic center in modern-day Belltown.[9][10] The plan was rejected by voters on March 5, 1912,[11] and the 3rd Avenue subway was unsuccessfully proposed twice in the 1920s.[12][13]

In the late 1960s, the

Metro Transit in 1972, operating bus service across King County.[19]

Bus tunnel

A dual-mode bus stopped on the northbound platform at University Street station in 1994

Metro Transit began planning a

cut-and-cover and be completed by late 1989.[22][23]

Excavation of the downtown bus tunnel began in early 1987, and construction reached the University Street area later that year.[24] The twin tunnel boring machines used to excavate the tunnel reached University Street in October 1987, and continued north towards Westlake station.[25][26] In December, Metro agreed to pay $2.4 million to real estate developer Marathon Company for use of a city block they owned adjacent to the station for equipment staging and storage, delaying the planned construction of office buildings on the site.[27] During excavation and construction of the University Street tunnel station, cracks and minor settling were found in the historic Seattle Tower, located nearby.[25] The ground around the tower was later stabilized to prevent additional settlement,[26] and was renovated with private funding in 1990.[28]

In March 1989, the first buses were tested in the tunnel; University Street station was only 75 percent complete, and buses had to drive under

soft opening for University Street station was held on August 9, 1990.[31] Bus service in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel began on September 15, 1990, with several Metro bus routes moved into the tunnel from surface streets.[32] All service on routes using the tunnel was operated by dual-mode buses, which operated as diesel buses outside the tunnel and electrically, as trolleybuses, when inside the tunnel. During its early months, University Street and other stations were affected by serious water leaks, which splashed water onto walkways during the tunnel's first winter in operation. The leaks were later fixed by Metro contractors.[33][34]

In 1994, the

concert hall.[35] The building, later named Benaroya Hall, required the two-year closure of the station's 2nd Avenue entrance beginning in 1996.[36] The entrance was re-opened in 1998, at the same time the new hall was inaugurated.[37]

Light rail

The platform at University Street station, after its renovation for light rail

In the early 1990s, a regional

transit authority (RTA) was formed to plan and construct a light rail system for the Seattle area. After an unsuccessful attempt in 1995, regional voters passed a $3.9 billion plan to build light rail under the RTA in 1996.[38] The downtown transit tunnel had already been planned for eventual light rail use and was built with tracks that would be incorporated into the initial system.[39][40] The RTA, later renamed Sound Transit, approved the tunnel as part of the route of its initial light rail line in 1999.[41] Ownership of the tunnel, including its stations, was transferred to Sound Transit in 2000 but returned two years later to King County Metro under a joint-operations agreement.[42][43]

The downtown transit tunnel closed on September 23, 2005, for a two-year, $82.7 million renovation to accommodate light rail vehicles. The renovation included the installation of new rails, a lowered roadbed at stations for level boarding, new signalling systems and emergency ventilation.[44][45] The tunnel reopened on September 24, 2007,[46] and Link light rail service began on July 18, 2009, from Westlake station to Tukwila International Boulevard station.[47][48]

Bus service within the downtown transit tunnel ended on March 23, 2019, due to the expansion of the

Washington State Convention Center at the site of Convention Place station, which includes demolition of the north portal. The tunnel became exclusively served by light rail trains, while the remaining seven bus routes were relocated to surface streets and nearby bus stops on 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th avenues.[49][50] Ownership of the tunnel and University Street station was transferred to Sound Transit in 2022.[51]

Naming

University Street station is named after University Street, itself named for the original campus of the University of Washington before it moved in 1895.[3] Metro discussed renaming the station for the Seattle Art Museum after it moved to the area in 1991, but took no action.[52]

In 2012, Sound Transit adopted names for light rail stations in the University District, near the current University of Washington campus, including "University of Washington" and "U District" stations.[53] The similarity between the three stations' names has led to public confusion, and calls to rename University Street station after Benaroya Hall or the Seattle Symphony.[54][55] In September 2019, Sound Transit opened an online survey with six options to replace the University Street name—Seneca Street, Midtown, Arts District, Downtown Arts District, Symphony, and Benaroya Hall.[56][57]

The Sound Transit Board adopted "Union Street/Symphony" as the station's new name in January 2020, after it had been recommended by a committee despite Union Street having no entrances to the station.

Northgate Link Extension, but the Sound Transit Board rescinded its decision a month later.[60][61] A separate board action to rename the station to "Symphony" was passed in October 2021 and is scheduled to be implemented before Line 2 opens in 2025.[62]

University Street station was designed in a

parking garage of the Cobb Building at 3rd Avenue and University Street (Exit A1), an elevator in the lobby of Benaroya Hall (Exit A2), as well as a level walkway under Benaroya Hall to 2nd Avenue and University Street (Exit B); the south mezzanine is accessible from a single entrance located inside the 1201 Third Avenue building near 3rd Avenue and Seneca Street (Exit C).[2][64] University Street station is approximately 570 feet (170 m) long, 70 feet (21 m) wide, and 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 m) deep.[65]

The station is situated above the Great Northern Tunnel, a century-old rail tunnel, which passes under with a clearance of approximately 15 feet (4.6 m).[66] Both tunnels factored into the architecture of nearby Benaroya Hall, which has an auditorium that rests on rubber bearings to insulate from vibrations and a 6-foot-thick (1.8 m) concrete slab to minimize sound.[37]

Art

University Street station, like other stations in the downtown transit tunnel, is furnished with several pieces of public art integrated into its design by architect Mark Spitzer and lead artist Vicki Scuri.[63]

"The Beltline", designed by Scuri, runs along the platform and consists of colored granite arranged in patterns that highlight passenger amenities, including information panels and benches. The benches have computer-generated dot matrix patterns sandblasted into the seats.[63][67] Some of the granite originally purchased for use in "The Beltline" originated in South Africa, then under a Metro-sanctioned boycott over its Apartheid policies; the discovery fueled a minor scandal that resulted in the resignation of Metro's executive director, while the granite would be replaced with another type.[68][69]

At the south mezzanine is Robert Teeple's "The Southern Lights", a series of fourteen

astrological signs;[67] the phrases, displayed in both English and Spanish, are randomly generated from using sets of four words that allow for 1.2 million possible combinations.[31][63] The north mezzanine has "The Northern Lights" by Bill Bell, a series of 24 embedded lights that form patterns when the eyes of viewers move rapidly from side to side. The patterns include images related to transportation and finance, including trolleys, airplanes, coins and the dollar sign.[63][67]

Two of the station's entrances and stairways are home to the silhouettes of and sentence-long quotes from Abraham H. Albertson, architect of the nearby Seattle Tower, and humanitarian activist Flo Ware.[2][63] At the corner of 3rd Avenue and University Street is a 14-foot-tall (4.3 m) pendulum clock known as "Hickory-Dickory Dock Clock", designed by Heather Ramsay with references to the nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickory Dock", including a brass mouse running up its side.[63]

The Benaroya Hall entrance to University Street station, built in 1998 for the new venue, is decorated with a series of art pieces by Erin Shie Palmer known collectively as the "Temple of Music".

pixellated patterns as it approaches the station mezzanine. The walkway's handrails are etched with Braille text and voiceprints, and end in sculpted depictions of a violin and a microphone.[63][71]

The station's

theater spectacles, represents the neighborhood's connections to the arts. It was created in 2009 by Christian French as part of the Stellar Connections series and its points represent nearby destinations, including Benaroya Hall, the Seattle Art Museum, the Central Library, and the 5th Avenue Theatre.[72]

Services

University Street station is part of the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel, which is served by the 1 Line of Sound Transit's Link light rail network. It runs from Northgate to the University of Washington campus, Downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley, and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. University Street is the twelfth northbound station from Angle Lake and sixth southbound station from Northgate, the line's two termini, and is situated between Pioneer Square and Westlake stations. Link trains serve University Street twenty hours a day on weekdays and Saturdays, from 5:00 am to 1:00 am, and eighteen hours on Sundays, from 6:00 am to 12:00 am; during regular weekday service, trains operate roughly every eight to ten minutes during rush hour and midday operation, respectively, with longer headways of fifteen minutes in the early morning and twenty minutes at night. During weekends, Link trains arrive at University Street station every ten minutes during midday hours and every fifteen minutes during mornings and evenings. The station is approximately 35 minutes from SeaTac/Airport station and three minutes from Westlake station.[73][74] In 2019, an average of 6,167 passengers boarded Link trains at University Street station on weekdays.[1]

In addition to light rail service, University Street station is adjacent to four surface

special route between light rail stations that stops on 3rd Avenue between University and Union streets to serve University Street station.[77]

From 2009 to 2019, several bus routes also ran in the tunnel alongside Link light rail. The final set of bus routes in the tunnel were divided into three bays by their outbound direction: Bay A was served by three routes heading north toward Northgate and the University District and east towards Kirkland (routes 41, 74, and 255); Bay C was served by three routes heading south through the SODO Busway toward Kent and Renton (routes 101, 102, and 150); and Bay D was served by one route heading east via Interstate 90 to Bellevue (Sound Transit Express route 550).[76] The bus routes were relocated in March 2019 to new stops on 2nd, 3rd, and 4th avenues to serve the University Street station area.[78][79]
