Learn More About the Plan for Light Rail’s Arrival to Redmond

Last week, the Sound Transit Board approved the Sound Transit 2024 Service Plan, which is the final step confirming the arrival of the initial segment of the 2 Line to Redmond and Bellevue in spring 2024. This 2024 service will begin operating as a portion of the larger East Link Extension project. When complete, the East Link Extension will add 14 miles of light rail from Seattle’s International District to the Redmond Technology Station. An additional 3.4 miles will be connected when the Downtown Redmond Link Extension opens, with stations in Marymoor Village and Downtown Redmond. Mayor Birney, along with many stakeholders in the region, sent a joint letter of support to the board.
