Starting 27 April 2024, passengers on the east side of the Puget Sound region were able to use Sound Transit Link light rail to travel quickly and safely to destinations throughout Bellevue and Redmond, WA, USA. The 6.6-mile initial segment of the 2 Line includes eight stations, as shown in Figure 6. In August 2024 the 1 Line will extend into Snohomish County to Lynnwood, and in spring 2025, the 2 Line is expected to add two more stations in Redmond.
In August 2023 the Sound Transit Board authorized the opening of the initial segment of the 2 Line on the east side while construction to correct quality issues on the I-90 segment continues. Since last February, trains have been running simulated service between South Bellevue and Redmond Technology Station, during which all Link trains run a normal schedule without passengers every 10 min, 16 h a day, seven days a week.
