Overlake Transit Center is a bus station and proposed light rail station in Redmond, Washington. The current bus station opened in 2002 and is located on the Microsoft Redmond Campus; it is served by Sound Transit Express and King County Metro.
In 2023, it will become the eastern terminus of the Sound Transit East Link light rail line and be renamed to Redmond Technology Center station.
The Redmond Technology Center light rail station will be located adjacent to State Route 520 near its interchange with NE 40th Street.
A pedestrian bridge over State Route 520, connecting the station to the Microsoft west campus, was funded by Microsoft and the City of Redmond in 2013 and is anticipated to be completed in 2020.
The $8 million transit center, funded by Sound Transit, the City of Redmond, King County Metro, Microsoft and the Federal Transit Administration, opened on February 4, 2002. The new transit center initially lacked passenger shelters and a paved parking lot, which were added in May. The 10-acre (4.0 ha) site was donated by Microsoft, who also contributed $1.2 million to the project and added commuter bus and shuttle bus services.
The park and ride closed in May 2017, during preparation for light rail construction. In late July, Sound Transit shifted bus service to a series of temporary bus bays near NE 36th Street and began demolition of the old transit center.
