Trains will then turn and head north along Bellevue Way and 112th St. towards Downtown Bellevue. From there, trains will head east at N.E. 12th St. past Overlake Hospital through the Bel-Red industrial area along N.E. 16th St. In the Overlake neighborhood, trains will connect with State Route 520 and head north towards Downtown Redmond/Redmond Town Center.
