The 2013-2014 My City Redmond guide is a special section published by the Redmond Reporter on May 31, 2013.• Editor: Andy Nystrom• Sales Manager: Jim Gatens


Dear Neighbors,Redmond has changed a lot

since I was 5 years old. In 1970, the population was about 16,000 and there was one stop light in the middle of town. I attended kin-dergarten at the brand new Ben Rush Elementary and received my haircuts from Hill’s Barbershop next to the IGA grocery store. Most children’s dads worked for Boeing and they all returned home at 5:15 p.m.

Today, Redmond houses a population of more than 55,000 people. Ben Rush will open its “new” school this September. And Mr. Hill’s son, Mike, announced his retirement last February. In 1970, Redmond was already home to Rocket Research (now Aerojet), but has since added Physio-Con-trol, Genie Industries, Nintendo of America and Microsoft, to name a few. More than 79,000 jobs exist in Redmond with an average wage of more than $90,000. Many households have at least one high-tech worker, if not more.

How is the city managing throughout this transition? Economic development and growth will come whether we are ready as a community or not. If we don’t manage it well, growth could sweep through every neighborhood in the city. Instead, and consistent with community input, we are focusing growth in our urban centers of downtown and Overlake to preserve the character of our existing neighbor-hoods. By strategically investing the city’s infrastructure dollars, we are channeling development to those areas where we can provide the urban infrastructure to responsibly support it, as per the city’s Comprehensive Plan. In doing so, we are creating new neighborhoods that add vibrancy and provide more retail, housing and restaurant choices to all our residents, while still preserving old town Redmond and nearby historical sites.

Part of my vision for Redmond is to be a place where you can live

for your whole life. This means creating options in housing, trans-portation and recreation. Now, if you want to downsize after the kids move out, you can purchase a nice condo or town home in Redmond, close to all the ameni-ties and services you enjoy. Your children have more choices about where to live in the city and can save up for a house while living in an apartment. To help ensure economic diversity in housing choices, the city is also pursuing senior housing on 160th Avenue Northeast across from the City Hall campus.

The city’s customer service interaction with our businesses and residents has evolved with the times. We, too, use YouTube, websites, Facebook and Twitter to share information and seek input. You can sign up for emailed tra� c alerts. When it snows, our web page with tra� c cameras comes alive as families check to see if their routes are cleared. Our inno-vative new online permit system makes it easier for businesses to work with the city. We continue to improve our digital interac-tion to be quick, informative and interactive. And as always, you can attend a neighborhood meeting, citywide events or attend a City Council meeting on the � rst and third Tuesdays of the month; you can also call or email to address the council and me directly.

Redmond will continue to be a great city as each generation builds on the successes of the pre-vious one. As I have shared before, our city has long been a center of innovation, from its roots as a pioneering logging community to today’s role as a global tech hub for aerospace, software and the digital arts. As we celebrate our next century with this summer’s 73rd annual Derby Days, I look for-ward to celebrating how our past can set the stage for an even more exciting future for our hometown . . . hope to see you there in July!

The Redmond Saturday Market is now open.

With the warm weather on May 4, the market’s opening day was � lled with smiling faces and excitement as folks returned to shop the fresh, lo-cal produce and crafts made by local artists. The smells of

tamales, sausage sandwiches, crepes and popcorn lingered in the air — making anyone hungry for a bite to eat.

The day’s festivities began with Redmond Mayor John Marchione doing the honor of cutting the ribbon for the market’s 38th season. The

crowd cheered and members of Redmond High School’s Pep Band performed to cel-ebrate the market’s opening. The Redmond Fire Depart-ment also came in full force, parking their engine in the driveway and posing for lots of photos. In addition, Heart

of Dreams Alpacas brought their critters along for the ride. Folks visited and fed the alpacas out on the grassy area all day long.

The market will run through Oct. 26 at 7730 Leary Way N.E.

Formerly Cascade Plaza Assisted Living

We hear it every day: “My grandmother lived at Cascade Pla-za when she could no longer live at home alone, my neighbor was at Cascade Vista for rehab after he had a stroke. The rehab was great. Or many years ago my son vol-unteered to play the piano there every week.” After all, we’ve been a part of the community since 1967. Cascade Plaza Assisted Living and Cascade Vista Skilled Nursing and Rehabili-tation are highly respected by the area’s hospitals, doctors and med-ical professionals and have been for nearly � ve decades. Respect of

that kind is earned, there’s simply no other way to achieve it. Exciting new changes, upgrades and renovations are coming our way very soon. Even though much will change, you can still count on the legacy of pride we have always had for providing ex-ceptional service and professional care. Wonderful things are going to be happening. Stop in and have a look � rsthand. We’re proud to show you the new Redmond Heights Assisted Living and Memory Care and Redmond Care and Rehabilitation Center.

BY ANDY NYSTROMRedmond Reporter

Punk-rock statesman Ian MacKaye once said in an interview about young musicians, “I feel like right now while we’re talking, there’s some kids, if they’re not already playing it, they’re cookin’ it up — it’s comin’, can’t be stopped.”

Old Fire House Teen Center Pro-gram Coordinator Rana Shmait wholeheartedly agrees with the former Fugazi and Minor Threat leader’s comment when discuss-ing the Redmond venue that has been home to copious all-ages concerts since 1992.

Shmait attended her � rst gig at the Fire House in 1997 when The Blood Brothers, Red Rocket and others took the stage in the 250-person capacity main room. She was 15 then and wide-eyed when she entered the music hot spot.

“I couldn’t believe that it was here. That’s the same thing teens still share with me,” said the class of 2000 Redmond High graduate who’s now 31. “It was so close to home. And what remains the same is that the sta� made me feel welcome, it was very inclusive.”

Shmait added that the Redmond City Council and parks and rec-reation department are ardent supporters of the Fire House, which is

funded by the City of Redmond. “They’re all invested in having a safe place for teens to have a posi-

tive experience,” she said.Mudhoney, Modest Mouse, The Gossip and Minus the Bear are

some of the bigger bands that have rocked the Fire House over the years; Fugazi was scheduled to play there in 1993, but venue founder Kate Becker moved the gig to the Bellevue YMCA and it drew 1,100 fans.

The Fire House, which hosts two to three concerts a month, also features a 16-track recording studio and a Pro Tools system.

Shmait said the musicians performing at the Fire House these days are just as charged about putting on a solid show as bands in the past.

“I want this to be a space for young people to share their talent and be appreciated and be empowered,” she said of the bands of all genres, vocalists, dancers and poets who perform at the Fire House.

“I refer to it as vibrant and driving,” she added. “I never get bored. It’s always relevant and fresh.”

The Fire House, located at 16510 N.E. 79th St., also holds a variety of classes from academic enrichment to fashion design. For more information, visit www.redmond.gov/ParksRecreation/Teens/MusicEvents/

The Lake Washington School District is the highest performing large (more than 20,000 student) public school district in the state of Wash-ington.

Its goal is to ensure that each student graduates and is prepared to lead a rewarding, responsible life as a contribut-ing member of our commu-nity.

With 51 schools and more than 25,000 students, the dis-trict spans Redmond, Kirkland and Sammamish. Redmond is home to 16 Lake Washington schools and programs — two high schools, four junior high schools, 10 elementary schools — although some Redmond residents attend district schools in outlying areas such as Lake Washing-ton High School in Kirkland and Eastlake High School in Sammamish.

The newest addition is a Science, Technology, Engi-neering and Math (STEM) high school.

The district’s educational philosophy is re� ected in its Student Pro� le, the knowl-edge, skills and attributes that every student needs to be future ready. The district’s Teaching and Learning Frame-work builds from kindergar-ten through 12th grade so that students exit the system

re� ecting the student pro� le.The district believes in a

continuum of educational options to meet the needs of students and parents. These include alternative schools and programs, small choice schools, home schooling partnerships, alternative structures and program in-novations.

Opportunities are available for parents and students inter-

ested in district-sponsored ac-celerated programs for highly capable students. Students are assessed and selected for enrollment in elementary and junior-high level acceler-ated programs. An array of advanced options for high school students are available at all of the district’s compre-hensive high schools.

Involvement of parents and community members in

key decisions is important to the district. Lake Washington consistently seeks input on major issues in a variety of ways. There are also numer-ous avenues for parents and community members to get involved through the PTSA, community working commit-tees and volunteer opportuni-ties.

With more than 110 retailers, Redmond Town Center (RTC) is a shopper’s paradise.

According to Christina Hen-ning, senior marketing man-ager, people can get a medical check-up, grab a bite for lunch, pick up a new pair of jeans and get their teeth cleaned all without moving their car.

“More than a shopping center, more than an of-� ce park, we like to think of Redmond Town Center as a community gathering place,” Henning added. “It’s an honor to support several nonpro� t organizations within our ten-ant line-up and are proud to have SecondStory Repertory, VALA Eastside and Reading with Rover call Redmond Town Center home.”

RTC’s commitment to the community extends beyond its property lines to support local programs and events, includ-ing city initiatives, economic development and more.

New to RTC is BJ’s Restau-rant & Brewhouse and Kitanda Espresso and Acai. They’re also looking forward to welcoming 24-Hour Fitness to the center this fall.

Upcoming summer events: 4th Annual Arts Festival and Sidewalk Sale scheduled for July 12-14 (Derby Days Weekend) and Family Concerts Saturdays at 4 p.m. July 20 and 27 and Aug. 3 and 10.

The Redmond Historical Society’s mis-sion is “To discover, recover, preserve, share and celebrate Redmond’s history.”

The society’s o� ce is open to the public from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the historic Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, 16600 N.E. 80th St., Room 106.

The society holds eight general meetings a year (January-May, and then September-November) as well as a summer picnic. The general meetings are from 10:30 a.m. to noon on the second Saturday of each month at the Old Schoolhouse. Each meet-ing includes a presentation on some aspect of Redmond or Eastside history.

A downtown historic walking tour will take place from 1-2:30 p.m. on June 16. In addition, there will be a tour of Redmond’s Pioneer Cemetery at 11:30 a.m. on July 21 and a Haunted History and Storytelling tour on Sept. 15 during the early evening. Additional tour opportunities are also avail-able by request.

Local historian Tom Hitzroth works with the society to provide narrative tours of

downtown’s historic buildings to the Red-mond community.

In 1871, the � rst white settlers arrived in Redmond, and 128 years later, the Red-mond Historical Society was formed.

When the society held its � rst meeting in 1999, residents needed little convinc-ing that Redmond’s rich local history was rapidly disappearing. Everywhere they looked, major changes were transforming

the landscape of the community.Old buildings were being demolished

to make room for modern businesses. The � elds and meadows of old homesteads were being bulldozed for housing tracts. And these changes continue to erase the structures and alter the natural setting of what was once a logging town, and later a close-knit farming community with all the friendly security of a small Western town.

Today, the society is recovering photo-graphs and artifacts, recording personal histories, researching and sharing Red-mond’s past, and having fun doing it. The society is a large group of friendly folks of all ages. Some of them are new to Red-mond, even new to the United States, all seeking roots in our new community. Oth-ers are revered longtimers who share their memories of times past.

They welcome new members, especially volunteers looking to donate computer and program management skills.

To receive a monthly newsletter, call (425) 885-2919 or email info@redmond historicalsociety.org.

Redmond is known as the “Bi-cycle Capital of the Northwest.” The city recently held a Bike Bash to celebrate its cyclers.

It’s safe to say that people enjoy getting out and about on their two wheels, whether it’s on the plethora of trails or at the Marymoor Velodrome.

“There’s trails absolutely ev-erywhere. I feel really safe taking my 3-year-old and 10-year-old — it’s just a very family friendly, beautiful community,” said Redmond resident Julie Konkle at the Bike Bash. She added that her family likes to cruise the Sammamish River Trail from Redmond to Kenmore and back.

Jill Smith, a member of the City of Redmond Trip Resource and Incentive Program (R-Trip), was pleased to see so many cy-clists at the Bike Bash and biking to work on May 17.

“I think there’s a lot of people who are really interested in the environment and being sustain-ably conscious,” she said, adding that camaraderie with cyclists is huge on the trails or at the Bike Bash. “A lot of people bike together and come in teams, of

either two or their whole bike team.”

London 2012 Olympic silver medalist Jennie Reed told the Reporter in September that she’d like to inspire more people to try track cycling, especially young girls.

Reed got her start in track cycling at the Marymoor Velo-

drome at age 16. The Marymoor Velodrome

is sold on cycling in his town.“It’s nice to see so many

people out and about,” he said. “There’s a lot of things like the Sammamish River Trail here and the Velodrome at Marymoor Park that makes it very condu-cive for people to get out and ride. (There’s) lots of great bike shops, too.”

With nearly 55,000 residents, Redmond is the 18th-largest city in Washington and is known for being home to Microsoft Corp. and having a healthy economic base, a high quality of life and quality schools.

Geographically, the city comprises more than 16 square miles between Woodinville to the north, Kirkland to the west, Bellevue to the south and Sam-mamish to the east.

Settled in the late 1870s by Irish immigrant Luke McRed-mond and New England transplants William and Laura

Perrigo, the town incorporated in 1912 with 300 residents.

Many descendants of these and other early families of Redmond still live in the area. While it maintains a proud his-tory, Redmond is also known for some of its more recent residents, including Nintendo of America, Cingular Wire-less, Medtronic, the popular Redmond Town Center and a number of other businesses within the technology � eld.

Back in 2007, most city de-partments moved into the $40 million City Hall.
