This is a really bad use of space next to Northgate station.

In the world? Sure. Near Northgate station, no. Link is a multi billion dollar public investment and we have twin transportation and housing crisis on. There is no particular reason to locate a mostly low rise hockey facility there.

Since the Ice Center will have lots of public use, it is great to have directly on the rail system. Will be a great asset for any future Washington State Winter Olympics bid. (Still, would be better with a few 40-story condo or office towers on top)
