Seattle Center Monorail to become fully accessible to all, thanks to $15 million grant
Thanks to a $15 million federal grant, the Seattle Center Monorail Station will become fully accessible to all riders under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
"The Monorail is both an iconic connection to Seattle's World's Fair past and an accessible, frequent, carbon-free transportation option to reach our always forward-looking Seattle Center and its resident organizations, including Climate Pledge Arena,” said Mayor Harrell. “We are thrilled that this significant investment will increase the Monorail's ADA accessibility, improve service for all transit riders, and strengthen its infrastructure."
As of now, the Seattle Center Monorail Station only provides one ADA compliant access point via a roundabout route through the Armory building which closes when the Armory is closed.
“Public transit is meant to serve the public, which means that it has to be accessible for everyone who needs to use it,” said Senator Murray. “The Monorail has not been updated in over 60 years and is inaccessible for too many individuals.”
