Location

The station is located on NE 16th Street between 130th and 132nd avenues in northeastern Bellevue. A 300-stall park and ride lot is adjacent to the station.[5]

History

The station was originally named Bel-Red/130th in June 2015.[6] The name was shortened to BelRed station in October 2023 following a request from the Bellevue city government.[7]

Design

The station consists of two side platforms situated at-grade in the median of Spring Boulevard.

An early design proposed by Tiscareno Associates using rusted steel for the shelters, reflecting the area's industrial history, but was rejected by community members. The revised design takes inspiration from nearby water features.[8] In February 2017, Sound Transit awarded a $93 million construction contract for the station and nearby bridge to the Max J. Kuney Company.[9]
