Redmond 2 Line Opening Celebration:

Trails 2 Transit

 Light rail is coming to Downtown Redmond! Move Redmond is excited to host Trail 2 Transit presented by Sound Transit and in partnership with Eastrail Partners & Africans on the Eastside. Join us May 10th from 12:00pm-4pm along with Sound Transit, Eastrail Partners,  Africans on the Eastside, and others to celebrate the Downtown Redmond light rail opening, a new critical connection into Downtown Redmond! During the day’s festivities, walk, bike or roll between Redmond light rail station and Redmond Central Connector to celebrate the opening of light rail with vendors, live entertainment, delicious food, and family friendly activities.

Excitement is in the air as this milestone will enhance access to school, work, and healthcare throughout the Eastside. Be part of the celebration and witness the city’s remarkable progress in transitioning from a suburban city to a transit-oriented hub.

Be the first to access our Updated Station Access Maps 

We made a pocket sized map to help you connect to the 2 line light rail by walking, rolling, and transit. Our Station Access Map provides the information you need on transit routes, bike lanes, and walking paths within a mile radius of each light rail station on the 2 -Line. They also offer safety information, highlighting areas of caution, such a busy intersections, with turning vehicles, and identifying steep grades that may pose challenges for wheelchair users. These maps also include information on how to reload your ORCA card, use BikeLink Lockers, and schedule a community van ride! Say goodbye to parking stress and hello to hassle-free commuting!

Stay tuned as we update you with more details!
