The 1 Line and the eventual Ballard and West Seattle extensions will become an "X" rather than having one be very short and the other very long. This is primarily to give the drivers a reasonable interval for the bathroom.
For central Redmond, the sharp turn allowed them to use public ROW, minimize disruption, and reduce construction costs. Going elevated to Downtown Redmond first would be faster for a lot of riders, but it's not all good.
I certainly agree about the at-grade section in the Bel-Red area.
