Make Back-to-School Safe

The 2024-25 school year starts today. We all play a part in keeping students safe by driving safely in school zones. Follow these simple steps when behind the wheel to keep our streets and students safe:

Drive 20 mph or less in school zones.
Disconnect from distractions, including your phone and navigation system.
Know the laws about when to pass school buses.

Celebrate Art at DRAW

Join us for the second annual Downtown Redmond Art Walk (DRAW) beginning at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 19, in the Downtown corridor. This arts-centric event brings together Redmond’s local artists and businesses for an evening of art and togetherness. It’s a free opportunity, encouraging community members to support local artists, merchants, and vibrant arts organizations alike. Also, stop by Downtown Park to say hello to your City Council during the event.
