Redmond Group Transportation: Marymoor Park, Downtown Redmond Station & SR 520

Quotes we have sent across Washington start around $420–$445 an hour, which puts a typical four-hour night at $1,775–$2,025. Your price depends on the date, the city, how many hours you need, the bus and your group size.

No. Marymoor Park is King County property, and the county publishes its own Marymoor Special Events Guide and application, charges a parking fee, and manages the 5,000-person concert venue and Clise Mansion rentals. The City of Redmond’s Special Event Permit covers city parks, streets, sidewalks and trails. If your night includes both, the driver needs vehicle instructions from each authority.

The City of Redmond wants a complete Special Event Permit application at least 90 days before the event for anything publicly attended that affects city property, with a site map, activity list, timeline and proof of liability insurance. For your purposes that means a downtown street closure or park festival on your date has usually been on the books for months. Ask the organizer for the approved site map before you pick a pickup point.

Often yes. Sound Transit’s 2 Line serves Downtown Redmond Station and Marymoor Village Station, and King County opened the Marymoor Station Trail to connect that station to the north end of Marymoor Park. For a big party, one coach for the core group plus rail for the stragglers can cut the number of vehicles you need. Check current service alerts and the last train time for your date.

Ask. A provider can cross Lake Washington on the tolled SR 520 bridge or run I-405 to I-5, and the choice changes both the toll and the clock. At Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, charter buses use the Northeast Charter Bus Lot at the north end of the parking garage and groups call 206-787-5906 for dispatch once they have their bags, while pre-arranged limousines pick up on the Arrivals Drive after checking in at the Ground Transportation Booth.

61% of every request we get is for a Saturday, and another 20% for a Friday. That is why Saturday availability is the first thing to ask about. That's what other Redmond planners asked for — your own headcount is what decides it. Count everyone who is actually getting on, then add room for luggage, coolers, instruments or formalwear. Ask each company for the legal seated capacity of the exact vehicle they're offering. Most Redmond requests are for weddings, bachelor parties, and bachelorette parties, and those nights want different amounts of floor space for the same headcount. A bus rated for twenty seats is not twenty comfortable seats in formalwear.

Not necessarily. The images here are representative renderings of a vehicle class, not photos of a bus parked in Redmond. The company covering your route names the assigned vehicle in writing when you book. Before you pay, make sure that writing gives the specific vehicle, its legal seated capacity, the features you're counting on, and what happens if it's unavailable on the day — including whether a replacement could be a different size or class.

Ask in your first message, before you have a quote. Accessible vehicles are a small slice of any local fleet and they need more lead time. Tell them how many passengers use a wheelchair or mobility device, the type and weight, whether anyone can transfer to a seat, and whether you need a lift or a ramp. Ask in writing how the device is secured, what the usable door and interior height are, and how much notice they need. Then check the accessible entrance and loading spot with each venue — Marymoor Park (King County), including the summer concert venue and Clise Mansion and Redmond Town Center area set their own access rules, and the right bus is no help at a door it can't reach.
