What is the Red Line?

The Red Line is one of six monorail lines planned for a monorail rapid-transit system in Seattle.

Where will the Red Line Go?

The Red Line is currently defined as a “corridor”, a wide strip of land within which it is expected the purple Line would be built.

The Red Corridor would roughly go east from South Park through Georgetown, and cross Beacon Hill to Rainier Beach.

What Is the Project Schedule?

The Red Corridor is one of several corridors being evaluated in the process of selecting a corridor for the second phase line to be built in the city-wide system. During 2004 the Seattle Monorail Project will be evaluating different corridors, with public input helping decide which corridor will be most popular. It is anticipated that a decision on a specific corridor will be made late in 2004 or early 2005.

On July 2, 2004, preliminary reports were released for three other corridors. The report for the Red Corridor has not come out yet.
