NHL Seattle to announce partnership with Seattle Center Monorail Tuesday
On Tuesday, NHL Seattle and Seattle Monorail Services are expected to announce a significant partnership to improve the World's Fair-era train and include ridership costs in game tickets.
The announcement is part of the first phase of the new franchise's transportation plan to get fans in and out of the new arena at Seattle Center.
Sources close to the franchise said the plan will include another capital investment from NHL Seattle involving millions of dollars to upgrade the Westlake Monorail Station. That money will be used to improve the Monorail platform, ticketing, and provide additional elevator access.
The idea has long been floated as a potential solution to avoiding the Mercer Mess and congestion points around the Seattle Center.

How about some improvements to the two monorail vehicles?
I participated in the "March for Science" a few years back which went from Capital Hill to the Seattle Center.
Took the monorail on my return trip downtown to catch my bus back home. The thing was standing room only but unlike area buses and trains there was little for a person standing to hold onto to keep their balance.
