Seattle Westlake Showdown

It's time to determine which of the three #rail #transit lines serving this area of downtown #Seattle is worthy of being the Champion of Westlake Center.

See the following thread for the contenders and the vote. If your platform doesn't support polls, you can reply to me here.

In the southeast corner, we have the match favorite, the Link Light 1 Line!

Traveling underground through the Westlake area, the link light is sure to take you the farthest, from Northgate to all the way past the airport.

In the northwest corner, we have a challenger, the Seattle Streetcar South Lake Union Line (known informally as the South Lake Union Trolley). Traveling to Lake Union, this train is sponsored at nearly every stop and is wrapped from head to toe. Will the funny abbreviated nickname be enough to take on its competition?

Our third participant and final challenger: in the southwest corner is the Seattle Monorail. Even if it is the shortest, oldest, most expensive to ride, and has the fewest stops of the three, it will not be outdone as it soars above the city at a higher speed to Seattle Center.
