East Link Light Rail • Now Open
Sound Transit's East Link extension connects Bellevue and Redmond to Seattle's Link network for the first time. These are the condo buildings within a half-mile of East Link stations.
Why East Link Changes Everything
For the first time in Bellevue's history, condo owners can commute to Seattle without a car. East Link's 2026 opening connects Downtown Bellevue directly to Capitol Hill, Westlake, and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport — no transfers, no traffic. The Eastside's most walkable, transit-oriented condo buildings are now truly rail-connected. Buyers who have been waiting for this moment are paying attention.
The buildings below are within a half-mile of an East Link station, organized by station area. Whether you work at Microsoft's Redmond campus, Amazon's Bellevue offices, or in downtown Seattle, East Link reshapes the commute calculus — and the value story — for Eastside condos.

Questions & Answers
East Link Light Rail opened on March 25, 2026, connecting Bellevue and Redmond to Seattle's existing Link network. The line runs from the International District in Seattle through a tunnel under Lake Washington (via the I-90 bridge) to Downtown Bellevue and on to Redmond Technology Station.
Downtown Bellevue condos including Bellevue Towers (10700 NE 4th St), One Lincoln Tower (650 Bellevue Way NE), Palazzo, Villa Firenze, GIS Plaza, Metropolitan, ONE88, Library Square, Park Place, Washington Square, Bellevue Pacific Tower, and Abella are all within a half-mile of Bellevue Downtown Station — the most transit-rich location on the Eastside.
Yes. East Link connects Bellevue Downtown Station directly to Seattle's existing Link network via the I-90 floating bridge tunnel. From Bellevue Downtown you can reach Capitol Hill, Westlake, University Street, Pioneer Square, and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport without transfers. The trip from Bellevue Downtown to Westlake Station in Seattle takes approximately 15–18 minutes.
Yes. East Link serves Overlake Village and Redmond Technology stations, which are adjacent to the Microsoft main campus in Redmond.

It also creates a direct connection between Seattle and Bellevue's growing tech employer base on the Eastside.
Proximity to light rail is widely studied as a positive driver of real estate value, particularly for walkable, transit-oriented properties. East Link brings Bellevue into direct connection with Seattle's transit network for the first time, making condos near Bellevue stations more attractive to buyers who work on either side of the lake and want to avoid car dependence. Contact Jeff Reynolds to discuss how East Link may affect specific buildings you're considering.
