Bellevue Downtown Station is a 2 Line light rail station in a retained cut near 110th Avenue NE, adjacent to Bellevue City Hall and just east of the Bellevue Transit Center at the eastern edge of downtown. It opened on April 27, 2024.

The station sits at the east portal of a roughly 1,985-foot tunnel that carries the line beneath downtown Bellevue, with entrances at 110th and 112th avenues. It connects directly to the Bellevue Transit Center and King County Metro's RapidRide B Line, making it the central hub of the city's rail and bus network.

As the busiest 2 Line station in Bellevue, it anchors the city's dense downtown core of high-rise offices, residences, and shopping.
