Station Stairs

Station Stairs

If you use the southeast station stairway to the tunnel platform, near 5th and Weller, you’ll find the words of Teresa Schmid McMahon, feminist and professor of economics at the University of Washington from 1911-1937. McMahon’s quotation seems to sum up the tunnel arts program: “If you follow the beaten path, life becomes somewhat monotonous.”

The nearby southwest station stairway includes the words of Chinese entrepreneur Chin Gee Hee describing a plan to build a railroad connecting Seattle with Hong Kong.
