Westlake Square is a 0.01-acre (0.0040 ha) park in Seattle, Washington, adjacent to Westin Seattle. It was formerly a combination streetcar stop and underground comfort station. The former comfort station was demolished and filled in 1964.
In 2010, Seattle Department of Transportation redeveloped Westlake Square and adjacent McGraw Square into a new plaza for the South Lake Union Streetcar. A bronze statue of Swami Vivekananda by Indian artist Naresh Kumar Kumawat was installed at Westlake Square in April 2026. Mayor Katie Wilson and representatives of the Indian Consulate attended the dedication ceremony. It is the first life-size statue of Vivekananda in the U.S.
