Westlake Center, Seattle
Westlake Center, SeattleWestlake Center is a four-story shopping center and 25-story office tower in downtown Seattle, Washington, United States. The southern terminus of the Seattle Center Monorail, it is located across Pine Street from Westlake Park, between 4th and 5th Avenues. It is named for Westlake Avenue, which now terminates north of the mall but once ran two blocks farther south to Pike Street. Westlake Park is considered Seattle's "town square" and celebrities and political figures often make appearances or give speeches from the building's balcony. The anchor stores are Saks Off 5th and Nordstrom Rack. The current shopping center began construction in 1986 after over 20 years of planning, and opened its doors on October 20, 1988. The building was designed by RTKL Associates on a site of 11,000 square metres (120,000 sq ft). The mall has two food courts: the Asean StrEAT Food Hall on the first floor, which opened in November 2022 and was designed to resemble Southeast Asian food hawker stands; and Bites on Pine Food Hall on the second floor.
