Participate in Redmond’s Annual Community Survey

The City has again partnered with an independent research organization, EMC Research, to conduct Redmond’s annual community survey. Be on the lookout for a postcard invitation in your mailbox this week, sent to a randomized subset of residents to collect statistically valid community feedback about what the City is doing well and what can be improved. In early March, an online survey will open to everyone to respond. Results from this annual survey help inform city decision-making and performance measures.

Celebrate a Milestone for the Redmond Senior & Community Center

The community is invited to join the City of Redmond in celebrating the Redmond Senior & Community Center Topping Out Ceremony. Great progress is being made on Redmond's new community gathering place and we invite you to take part in recognizing this major milestone as we place a beam in the tallest section of the building. The event will take place from 1 – 2 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 3, at the construction site on City Hall campus at 15670 NE 85th St, Redmond.
