To prepare for the 2 Line’s opening, The Urbanist researched and published on the transit-oriented development (TOD) occurring around the new light rail stations. We documented millions of square feet of office development and tens of thousands of homes that have been built or in the works in Downtown Bellevue, Spring District, BelRed, Overlake, and Redmond Technology Station areas. Notably absent from our coverage are the East Main, South Bellevue, and Wilburton Stations.
The development around those stations either didn’t warrant their own update article or they simply had nothing notable built or in permitting. One of these stations has two big projects in permitting, sits on the edge of downtown, and has single family zoning right next to it. Another has an excuse and lots of promise. And the last one is hoping the other stations will distract us and has absolutely nothing going on.
