This is the southern most station of the tunnel. Here
busses from I-90, I-5 and the Busway join the Light Rail line to enter
the Downtown Transit Tunnel. Before Light Rail, the Dual-Mode busses raised their
trolley poles, then entered the station. Now they busses use hybrid
busses, so this is not necessary. The station is under the grade of the street, but not
in a tunnel. King St.
Amtrak and Sounder Station is just one block west. The former Union
Station, now Sound Transit HQ, is next door
