Contents
In 2023, it will become the eastern terminus of the Sound Transit East Link light rail line and be renamed to Redmond Technology Center station.
Location
The Redmond Technology Center light rail station will be located adjacent to State Route 520 near its interchange with NE 40th Street.
A pedestrian bridge over State Route 520, connecting the station to the Microsoft west campus, was funded by Microsoft and the City of Redmond in 2013 and is anticipated to be completed in 2020.
History
The $8 million transit center, funded by Sound Transit, the City of Redmond, King County Metro, Microsoft and the Federal Transit Administration, opened on February 4, 2002. The new transit center initially lacked passenger shelters and a paved parking lot, which were added in May. The 10-acre (4.0 ha) site was donated by Microsoft, who also contributed $1.2 million to the project and added commuter bus and shuttle bus services.
