seeking Seattle transportative enlightenment

The Potlatch web page says that "the handy new light rail ... doesn't go quite as far as the Hotel."

And the light rail's web page shows the line going only as far as the Westlake station, which is at Fourth and Pine.

Google Maps, however, appears to show light rail continuing up Westlake Avenue as far as the lake and then turning east, with the last station at Fairview and Ward.

However, the light rail project website shows an under-construction extension going not in that direction at all, but heading up Pine towards Capitol Hill.

Is the Google Maps extension a phantom, or what?, and will I get in trouble with all the Google apologists again if I suggest that their maps are not perfect in every way?

There are patchwork agencies in the Bay Area too; four agencies around the southern lobe of the Bay alone, and at least two to the north, plus BART and CalTrain which are each separate from any of them. But we also have this unifying schedule and planning site which is linked to from, as far as I've noticed, all the local agencies' sites.
