Sound Transit East Link 2 Line Update
On April 27, 2024, Sound Transit officially launched the East Link 2 Line, a transformative public transit option for the Eastside region. This new light rail line spans 6. 6 miles, linking eight stations between Bellevue and Redmond, enhancing accessibility and convenience for commuters. Trains will operate every 10 minutes from 5:30 a. m.
to 9:30 p. m. , providing reliable service seven days a week. Key stations, including Bellevue Downtown and Spring District, offer connections to various local attractions and services, making it easier for residents and visitors to explore the area. Additionally, the line will expand in August 2024 with two more stations in Redmond to further improve connectivity.
The complete 2 Line is expected to open in 2025, providing a direct transit link to downtown Seattle. For more information, including maps and riding tips, visit Sound Transit’s official website.
