Westlake Square is a 0.01-acre (0.0040 ha) park in Seattle, Washington,[1] adjacent to Westin Seattle. It was formerly a combination streetcar stop and underground comfort station.[2] The former comfort station was demolished and filled in 1964.[2][3]
In 2010, Seattle Department of Transportation redeveloped Westlake Square and adjacent McGraw Square into a new plaza for the South Lake Union Streetcar.[4][5]
