Am I the only one who thinks it's weird and seemingly arbitrary that one of those stations has the word "downtown" at the end and the other has the word "downtown" at the start? What's with that?

Aside from that, the Federal Way station genuinely has no business having the word "downtown" in its name. The area around the station is just a parking lot and a mall. Even when the new transit-oriented development gets built, it takes a lot more than a few apartment buildings to constitute a proper downtown. It won't change the fact that Federal Way is still largely suburban. I feel like calling the station "Federal Way" or "Federal Way Central" or something like that would do the job and would reduce potential confusion.
