2002 opening?
The Overlake Transit Center may have had a redesign or naming ceremony in 2002, but it was open as a P&R long before that. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) 08:17, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Overlake P&R is a separate facility near 152nd and 24th, next to Overlake Village station. Based on historic aerial imagery, there was nothing at the Overlake TC site before 2002.  Sounder Bruce  08:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I got off the bus on September 11, 2001 at what is now the Redmond Technology Station and walked over to Building 25 (which was MSNBC HQ) and found out that days news. It's a pretty significant date to know when and where you were. Microsoft donated the land in 1998, so it was probably just the off-ramp stops and a parking lot in casual use as a P&R until the opening of the driver facilities and bus loop that went in during 2002.

 * The flyer stops are slightly older (dating back to when the interchange was built in 2000) and it seems some bus bays opened before the park-and-ride itself did in spring 2002.  Sounder Bruce  06:08, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Article photo after April 2024 station opening
I took some photos of Redmond Technology station shortly after the 2 Line starter line opening the past weekend, which I've put into Commons:Category:Overlake_Transit_Center c:Category:Redmond Technology (Link station). Particularly of interest here are probably or.

Any objections to replacing the September 2019 under construction image with either of these? Which of them would make a better infobox image? (The overpass image is more similar to the current one and has a better view of the surroundings incl. the ped bridge; the station entrance image is less busy and personally, big fan of the red paint.)

Thanks! cc @SounderBruce. Maiacosis (talk) 19:29, 29 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I see that @ used the overpass image. Thank you - that works for me.Maiacosis (talk) 16:27, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Just FYI, the Commons category should have been named to match the Wikipedia entry. I'm preparing a mass rename request for all of the Link stations since they're still mixed up.  Sounder Bruce  03:32, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
