Westlake Center Plaza
Westlake Center Plaza is on the corner of 4th Ave. and Pine St and has a small, one-story plus loft retail pavilion. The plaza is covered in gray pavers and holds several small trees. The retail space is 870 sq ft (81 m2). and leased to the Seattle-based company Starbucks. Previous to Starbucks, the space was leased to Seattle's Best Coffee. The space employs about 40 people, and is the second busiest Starbucks in North America. The plaza has several crime-element concerns (that are not any different than the rest of downtown Seattle) and is often monitored by the security contracted by the mall.

“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
