Two new Link light rail stations will open this weekend in southeast Redmond: Marymoor Village and Downtown Redmond.

Sound Transit is kicking off the excitement with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10:30 a.m. at the downtown Redmond station. Passenger service will likely begin around noon.
From noon to 4 p.m., celebrations will take place at both new stations, featuring live music, food vendors, and family-friendly activities. Everyone is welcome to join!
One service is underway, two-car trains will run every 10 minutes, 16 hours each day.

Starting Saturday, it will serve the following stations:

The Marymoor Village station has a new 1,400-stall parking garage, located on Northeast 70th Street.

What's next?
The rest of the 2 Line is projected to open in late 2025 with the completion of the I-90 segment of East Link.
That segment includes the Mercer Island and Judkins Park stations on the 2 Line and connects to the 1 Line at the International District/Chinatown Station in downtown Seattle.
