The Redmond Central Connector is a key regional link from Redmond to Issaquah and Kirkland. It provides transportation choices, recreation opportunities and connects businesses. It is part of the larger Eastrail, a 42-mile corridor between Snohomish County and Renton. Phase III is Redmond's final phase and will connect the RCC with Woodinville and Kirkland at NE 124th.
