Thousands of eager riders turned out earlier this month to celebrate the 2 Line opening to Downtown Redmond, and one question from transit fans arose more than any other: “Now when will it connect to Seattle?”

Head to the link in our bio for the latest update on this highly anticipated regional connection.

#SoundTransit #2Line

Heads up, late-night riders: Starting Monday, May 19, Link 1 Line service will end at 10 p.m. at Angle Lake Station on weeknights for up to four weeks.

Crews will be testing systems for the upcoming Federal Way Link Extension. There will be no train service between Angle Lake and SeaTac/Airport after 10 p.m. — use RapidRide A Line as an alternative.

The Angle Lake garage and early morning service remain unchanged. Please allow extra time and check our website for trip planning help.

This testing is key to ensuring a safe and reliable extension! 🔗 in bio for more.
