In 2016 voters approved funding to design and build Link light rail to downtown Redmond. This project extends Link 3.4 miles along SR 520, from the future Redmond Technology Center station (at NE 40th St.) to downtown Redmond, with a station and park-and-ride access in southeast Redmond near Marymoor Park.

Over the next year, Sound Transit will seek input and further refine the project; analyze potential environmental impacts; and begin preliminary engineering. Construction is expected to begin in 2020, with light rail open for service by 2024.
