Fyi, the monorail really has only two stops/the two endpoints -- by the Space Needle and Westlake Center Mall which is at Pine and 5th in downtown.

FAQ - Seattle Monorail

FAQ. Where does the Monorail go? The Monorail travels directly between Westlake Center Mall (5th Ave & Pine St) & Seattle Center.

I wonder if she was on the monorail heading to downtown?

Eta: You can see the route here, the blue line from near the top left to the bottom right.

So she got off at Westlake, very sketchy in the middle of the night but very busy and safe during the day.

Adding as a lifelong local until recently:

I went to college at the base of the space needle in 2014, at the time the area was so desolate that even as a lifelong seattlite who lived in a worse area, my dad made me call a car to take me to Westlake 1 mile away. This was in the evening, not during the day when Charlotte was last seen. Now that Amazon has moved into the area and tourism is up again, the area between Seattle Center and Westlake is much much busier and nicer during the day. But still, there are random desolate alleys that can be uncomfortable to walk down during the day. I worked in the area in recent years and always felt safe but that's a recent development.

The areas she would have last been at - Seattle Center and Westlake - are nearly shoulder-to-shoulder busy with tourists during the weekends with nice weather. There are also tons of cameras everywhere.

If you end up lost, it's really easy to follow the monorail back to Westlake - it's above ground the entire way.

Very true. On the plus side, it's a centrally located area with lots of traffic cameras and security cameras on buildings and businesses so hopefully LE will be able to spot her after reviewing camera footage.

and IIRC from other instances, there are cameras ON every single monorail car and a ticket purchase required - paper trail.
