Hard to see in the presentation exactly where they were planning the portal into marquam but they did say they need 4 plus acres of park space as a staging site for the tunnel.

Check out the Southwest corridor thread. Someone just posted a link to a Metro document that discusses the two tunnel variants (both of which would have their portal in this area) and at least one discussed a station pretty close by (on Hooker St, IIRC).
I think it's hard to imagine they would sign a lease like that and be totally unaware of the Southwest Corridor.
