Sound Transit will inaugurate service on Downtown Redmond Link on Saturday, May 10th, 2025, agency leaders announced during a special event at Marymoor Village Station today, bringing light rail with steps of NPI’s headquarters in the heart of the city.

The pending debut of the Downtown Redmond extension is Sound Transit’s latest expansion milestone. Since opening Central Link in 2009, Sound Transit has continuously added more stations and track to the region’s light rail system.

The 1 Line has grown to the north as well as the south, with Airport Link, University of Washington Link, Angle Lake Link, Northgate Link, and Lynnwood Link. Meanwhile, the 2 Line has powered up on the Eastside, connecting Redmond with Bellevue.

And now we’re getting Downtown Redmond Link. It arrives in a little over three months.

Sound Transit announced today that two new stations on the Link 2 Line in Redmond will open for passenger service on May 10.

The 3.4-mile Downtown Redmond Link Extension includes two new stations in southeast Redmond, at Marymoor Village and Downtown Redmond. Two-car trains will run every 10 minutes, 16 hours a day. The initial segment of the 2 Line between South Bellevue and Redmond Technology Station opened on April 27, 2024, with first-day ridership of 35,000.

"In just a few short months we will open two new stations that will provide more connections and economic opportunity for workers, students and visitors throughout the region," said Snohomish County Executive and Sound Transit Board Chair Dave Somers. "The people who live, work and play here deserve a quality system that takes them out of traffic and on to their next destination."

"Starting May 10 you can catch a concert at Marymoor Park, enjoy a day of shopping at Redmond Town Center, and explore the culinary delights of downtown Redmond with a quick, easy trip on light rail," said King County Councilmember and Sound Transit Board Vice Chair Claudia Balducci. "Building on last year’s opening of the 2 Line and looking forward to the connection across Lake Washington this year, the opening of the Downtown Redmond Link Extension continues the Eastside’s transformation and welcomes a new era that will make life better for people across our region."
