Light Rail is Here!
Link Light Rail has extended to Redmond. Once fully completed in 2025, it will provide a 30-minute transit time to downtown Seattle and 14-minute trip to Bellevue. Today, Redmond businesses and residents benefit from an integrated transportation system that includes over 54 miles of bike and pedestrian trails and standard and express bus connections to employment centers including Bellevue, Kirkland and Seattle.
The 2 Line Is Open!
Sound Transit, the Seattle region’s transit service, is expanding its Link light rail service throughout the region, including the Eastside and into Redmond. On April 27, 2024 Sound Transit officially opened the 2Line which connects Bellevue to Redmond. Next up will be the two more stops serving Marymoor Park and Redmond Town Center.
The Redmond Link Extension will connect Redmond to downtown Bellevue in 15 minutes, Mercer Island in 25 minutes and then into downtown Seattle to the International District Station in 38 minutes.
An ORCA card is the easiest way to pay and only way to transfer between buses and trains. Fares are $2.25-2.50 depending on how far you travel. Reduced fares are available, youth ride free. Trains will run every 10 mins, 5:30am to 9:30pm, 7 days a week. Plan your trip and see great bus connections!
