Learn About Our Redmond Senior & Community Center Passes
In response to community feedback, we introduced new pass options at the Redmond Senior & Community Center this month. Choose between Day Passes (available in packs of 1, 10, or 20), Monthly Passes, and Annual Passes. All passes include access to drop-in activities, the Fitness Zone, and the Walk/Jog Track, and the Family Pass includes the Kids Zone and Indoor Play.
We heard from the community their desires for a more walkable community and more housing options. Implementing a complete neighborhood concept aims to achieve this goal by allowing more businesses – like groceries, restaurants, and coffee shops – to be closer to housing so people can walk or roll there without a car. Additionally, allowing more duplexes, triplexes, and multi-family buildings in more of the city creates diversity in the housing types and could lower housing prices.

Marymoor Park is King County’s most active park, attracting over three million visitors each year. To keep up with the growing use, King County developed a Draft Marymoor Park Plan that will guide how they update or improve the park. What is most important to you at Marymoor? What should be improved or updated? Share your thoughts by Friday, Sept. 27.
