Since civil construction has finished, test trains will begin running on the 2 Line between South Bellevue Station and Redmond Technology Station every 10–15 minutes as part of preparation for opening called simulated service.  

Safety tips at rail crossings: 

• Look both ways. Trains come from both directions, so always expect a second train! 
• Take headphones off, put screens down. It’s important to stay alert to be safe.  
• Take crosswalks, not shortcuts. Trains always have the right of way, so pay attention to crossing signals and only cross at designated crossings. 
• Bike smart; ride safe. When you’re riding a bike, always cross tracks at a 90-degree angle to prevent getting stuck. 

What: 

• Active two-car trains on tracks every 10–15 minutes. 

When: 

• As early as Monday, Jan. 22.  Start dates are dependent on weather and safety testing completion and are subject to change. 

Where: 

• South Bellevue Station to Redmond Technology Station, including the Bel-Red and NE Spring Boulevard at-grade section of the track (as indicated on the map below). 

More: 

• The 2 Line, opening this spring, will add 6.6 miles, eight stations, and two garages to the light rail system.  
• The remaining section of the 2 Line — which includes two more stations in Judkins Park and on Mercer Island and creates a transfer point to the 1 Line at International District/Chinatown Station in Seattle — is expected to open in 2025.
