Artist’s concept of the monorail terminal in the Westlake Mall in downtown Seattle. The Alweg monorail will be capable of carrying 10,000 persons an hour from the Mall to the World’s Fair grounds a mile away. Each trip will take less than 1 1/2 minutes.

    Is Westlake Mall the most tragic building in Seattle? This original look would have been fabulous, but even the old station was better than the Crappiest Mall in America taking up such an important intersection in the city.
