Hatch celebrates the grand opening of Downtown Redmond Link Extension, advancing Seattle’s transit future
With two new stations and expanded service on Sound Transit’s 2 Line, Hatch’s engineering and transit expertise help deliver a major milestone in regional connectivity and sustainable mobility
Seattle, WA, United States – Hatch is proud to share its pivotal role in the grand opening of Sound Transit’s Downtown Redmond Link Extension, an exciting new addition to the 2 Line. The extension includes two new stations, and a new parking structure located at Marymoor Village Station. Launched in 2018, this project is a landmark achievement in our long-standing partnership with Sound Transit, dating back to 1998.
The inauguration of the stations, which connect Redmond Technology Station to Downtown Redmond Station, is a significant advancement in public transit, offering trains every 10 minutes from early morning until late evening.
Hatch was responsible for the design of the traction power substation, overhead catenary system, signals, and communications, ensuring that the project’s systems design elements are executed flawlessly and integrated into the overall Sound Transit system.
We also facilitated the procurement of a fleet of 62 low-floor, light rail vehicles and supported the acquisition of an additional 152 cars to meet the increasing ridership demands. Our daily collaboration with Sound Transit’s operations, maintenance, and engineering departments, alongside King County Metro, has been crucial in maintaining the highest standards of service and sustainability.
The launch of the Downtown Redmond Link Extension offers an opportunity to reflect on our role in this transformative project. We are proud to contribute to Sound Transit’s vision of public transit as a cornerstone of vibrant, thriving communities. We look forward to seeing the positive impacts of the 2 Line unfold.
