Light rail coming to Bellevue, Redmond sooner than expected

Eastside residents can look forward to light rail stations between Bellevue and Redmond opening in early 2024.

The Sound Transit Board voted Thursday to open the East Link "starter line."

"The soonest we could open East Link starter line is in spring of 2024, and Lynwood Link would follow in the fall of 2024," said Moises Gutierrez with Sound Transit.
