The streetcar |
This modern streetcar line opened in December of 2007. The line runs from Westlake in Downtown, up Westlake Ave to Lake Union, ending at Fairview.
The line uses 3 Inkeon Trio cars similar to Portland's Streetcar. The line runs point-to-point with the only single track at Westlake hub.
The line got a nickname from neighbors, they call it the South Lake Union Trolley, or SLUT for short. This is because many feel the city built this line to help multi-millionaire Paul Allen re-develop the area around Lake Union. A small hole in the wall coffee shop called Kapow Coffee (no longer in business) extended the idea with t-shirts.
