South Lake Union Transit/Amenities Kiosk

Designed to promote greater public transit use and a walkable lifestyle in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood, the interactive screen kiosk displays local amenities and real-time public transit information.

Designed by Hornall Anderson for Vulcan Real Estate, the kiosk encourages the use of alternative modes of transit as part of the Transportation Management Plan required by the City of Seattle for Vulcan's office building portfolio. It also increases awareness about the growing number of SLU amenities available to the thousands of Amazon.com employees and visitors in the neighborhood.

The 40-inch, map-based kiosk is the first such interface to combine the accessibility of touch-screen technology with neighborhood amenity information and real-time arrival information for transit. The kiosk taps into live data feeds from the popular OneBusAway application, King County Metro, Sound Transit and the Seattle Streetcar, as well as a comprehensive, updated database of South Lake Union amenities. Vulcan Real Estate is considering the potential use of these kiosks in its other office buildings in South Lake Union.
