The station was originally included in the Sound Transit 2 ballot measure in 2008, but was left out of the East Link Extension after a funding shortfall stemming from the City of Bellevue's desire for a tunneled alignment under Downtown Bellevue.[2] Sound Transit instead completed environmental reviews and selected a preferred alignment to Downtown Redmond, indefinitely deferring the final segment of East Link until a later date.[3] The Sound Transit 3 ballot measure, passed in 2016, includes $1.1 billion in funding for the two stations in Downtown Redmond, which were planned by 2024.[4] Preliminary engineering on the Redmond extension was approved in February 2016, after being suspended in 2010.[5]
The station was originally named SE Redmond until Marymoor Village was adopted as its permanent name in June 2022.[6] Preliminary construction at the site began in late 2020.[7] The station is scheduled to open in 2025.[8] Its public artwork includes a mural by Yegizaw Michael named "Point of Connection" that depicts the history and diversity of Redmond. Michael's work was the first to be selected by Sound Transit's virtual selection panel, which formed in May 2020.[9][10]
