Light rail East Link starter line will open in spring of 2024.
SEATTLE — The Sound Transit Board unanimously voted Thursday to approve a proposal that would launch an East Link light rail starter line next year.
“Almost exactly one year ago, when we first learned that Eastlink light rail would be significantly delayed due to workmanship issues on the I-90 bridge, I proposed that we open an ,” District 6 King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci said in a prepared statement.
“We are excited about the connectivity and reliability that the starter line will bring to the Eastside,” Redmond Mayor Angela Birney said in a press release. “This decision transforms the promise of light rail into reality, providing thousands of Redmond residents and employees the benefits of a guaranteed 10-minute commute between Overlake and downtown Bellevue.”
With the starter line approved, riders will be able to travel between South Bellevue and Redmond, with a total of eight stops. Once construction is done on the connection over Lake Washington, the route will ultimately connect Seattle with stations on Mercer Island and in Bellevue and Redmond.
