Complete Your Neighborhood

Complete neighborhoods are neighborhoods where you can meet all your basic needs by walking or rolling close to your home. Where can we find complete neighborhoods in Redmond now? How can we make more of Redmond complete over the next 30 years? Tomorrow, June 21, you can stop by City Hall (15670 NE 85th Street) from 5 – 7 p.m. to meet with Redmond 2050 staff, learn more about the plan for the future of Redmond, as well as share your thoughts and play games.

A kids entertainment area and snacks will be available.

Keep Streams and Lakes Clean

Did you know that stormwater (rainwater that flows into grates along roads and walkways) is not treated, and anything that goes into a storm drain flows to the nearest river, lake, or stream? Never dump anything down the drain, including yard debris and pet waste, and always use a commercial car wash when washing your car.

Celebrate Pollinator Week

This year, June 19 - 25 is Pollinator Week. Help support the birds, bats, bees, butterflies, beetles, and small mammals that bring us one out of every three bites of food. About 75% of all flowering plant species need animal pollinators for reproduction, and you can help protect them in your yard or garden.
