Yes, you can access University Street Station from here.
Yes, you can access University Street Station from here. Charles Mudede

Speaking of the signage in Link stations: If you get close enough to the Benaroya Hall entrance that faces the 2nd Avenue/University Street intersection, you will see in the shadow of the canopy the words "Metro Tunnel." No other information about this tunnel is provided until you are in it and happen to look at the wall on your right. There you will find a small sign that says: "Public Space" and "Hillclimb Terrace" and "Metro Tunnel Access." Nothing is said about Link. (Metro, in Seattle, means buses, not trains.) Also, nothing points in an obvious and clear way to the underground station. And so one not in the know walks down the tunnel in the way an adventurer in a blockbuster slowly walks toward a tomb in the depths of a pyramid.

If you stand on the sidewalk at the 2nd Avenue/University Street intersection, you are immediately informed by words engraved on dark slabs of granite that this is the Garden of Remembrance. Here, citizens of Washington who died in wars that could easily have been prevented (World War II, Korea, Vietnam) are remembered with engravings, blocks of black stone, dark pools of water, lugubrious waterfalls, and the solemn steps that lead up to the entry of a tunnel that leads down to the life of the University Station.

So, beyond this hard and grim garden is an entrance that is across the street from the Seattle Art Museum, down the road from the Russell Investments Center tower, two blocks from the Showbox, and a three-minute walk from Pike Place Market. Because the entrance is in a great location, I can't help but wonder if the near absence of signs around it has anything to do with a sense of patriotism. Maybe Sound Transit doesn't want to desecrate this somber memorial to Washington's war dead with bright and useful signs. It fears that if people are fixed on and following its directions to the station, they would walk over this sacred ground as if it were any old place. The steps to the tunnel would become steps and not steps in honor of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Is that what's going on here?
