Westlake Center is a four-story
shopping center and twenty-five story office tower in
Downtown Seattle,
Washington, USA. 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.
