Sound Transit OKs spring 2024 opening for eight Link 2 Line stations

Sound Transit yesterday announced that the East Link light-rail extension, also known as the Link 2 Line, can begin operating passenger service between Seattle's South Bellevue and Redmond Technology stations in spring 2024.

Sound Transit's board approved opening the eight-station segment for service before completion of the full East Link light-rail extension, according to a news release.

Service on the 2 Line is proposed to run with two-car trains every 10 minutes, 16 hours a day. In October, the agency's board is expected to approve the final service level as part of the 2024 service plan. 

This initial 2 Line service will offer Eastside passengers trips between South Bellevue and Redmond Technology stations, as well as connect passengers to Overlake Medical Center, the Spring District and the BelRed area.
