The new Crosslake Connection of Sound Transit's Link light rail 2 Line opens Saturday, connecting Seattle and the Eastside. Tech companies like Microsoft and Lime are actively participating in celebrations across 10 stations. This expansion is set to transform commutes for thousands of tech workers, promising a significant shift in regional transportation dynamics.

Redmond, Wash. has launched RedLink, a free, on-demand, all-electric shuttle service designed to connect residents and visitors to the light rail. Operated via the Circuit app, the pilot program aims to improve local mobility and offer sustainable transportation within specific Redmond neighborhoods, particularly important as the light rail expands to Seattle. This initiative seeks to reduce personal vehicle usage for transit access.
