Redmond 2050
Join the conversation!
The vision for Redmond is decided by the people in our community. Who we are and who we want to be as a city, what our values and priorities are, and how we build and serve our community -- all are determined by community members themselves. We must find solutions for accommodating growth that fit our community values, particularly how growth is distributed in our community and what it looks like.
La visión para Redmond se decide por la gente de la comunidad. Quien somos y quien queremos ser como ciudad, cuales son nuestros valores y prioridades, y como construimos y servimos a nuestra comunidad – todo se determina por los mismos miembros de la comunidad. ¡Es hora de alzar su voz!
Staff will be incorporating your feedback into policy and code updates that will impact the next 30 years.

Kim9 months agoCedar Office
Cedar Speedster, located in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood, provides two stories of office space over retail. Cedar was used to reflect Pacific Northwest logging history.
3Kim9 months agoColor blocks, modulation, and articulation
This four-story building, located in Box Hill, Victoria, Australia, uses an innovative application of color as balcony awnings. By staggering the awnings, the building's primary facade appears to have a high degree of modulation and articulation (horizontal and vertical rhythm).
3Kim8 months agoArtistic Balcony and Light Treatments
The Spectra, located in Marymoor Village, features artistic balcony design that creates shadows and reflections during the daytime and light displays during the evening. These are part of an integrated art installation, with one of the plaza lights showing in the left of this image.
0Kim9 months agoMixed Uses and Mixed Modernity
This building features three tones of metal panels with wood and glass. Transparent portions including windows and decks are varied among grey metal panels. The projected fins provide a rhythm and create the idea of horizontal and vertical sections over the exterior of the building's design.
1Kim9 months agoVibrant! Affordable Housing
Located in Portland, Oregon, this building provides one-hundred percent affordable housing. This new building also provides transitional housing for people experiencing homelessness. Vibrant! was designed with a minimalist approach and simple materials as well as incorporating reclaimed wood. In addition to residences, the building includes interconnecting management and social services offices, a bike room, playroom, community room, kitchen, and a computer room. The site also includes an outdoor playground. Vibrant! features sustainable elements such as, a rooftop PV solar array, native plants, and a roof terrace.

Marymoor Village Inclusive Neighborhood Pilot Project
about 1 year agoUse this idea board to share your ideas of neighborhood design features that should be considered for the inclusive neighborhood pilot project (to be considered as part of the Marymoor Village updates).
Share your ideas and examples for other communities that you like by sharing photos, links, words, poems, or upload your own drawings.
Some questions to consider:
- What would you like to see for sidewalks, lighting, and signage that would improve access and inclusion?
- Are there building or other design features that would help you find your way through the neighborhood or to the correct building or main entrance of a particular buiding?
- Are there any sounds or spaces that are needed to help you comfortably and safely navigate and independently accomplish your daily errands?
- Is there a design element that is helpful for the blind, deaf, non-english speakers, etc., that we should consider to maximize inclusivity?
We've started off this idea board with comments we've received from the community already. Please add your own ideas and visit often to comment on and vote on any ideas you see that you love.
Questions? Contact our team at Redmond2050@redmond.gov.
Devon11 months agoWhen adding lamp posts and charging infrastructure for EVs, make sure they are on the street side of the sidewalk so cords don't cut across.
If you zoom in on the picture on the top right, you will see an example of the potential problem.

0 comment1BFreyabout 1 year agoPublicly accessible changing space for teens/adults with physical disabilities that require a safe and clean changing area.
For community members with physical limitations that require changing assistance, participation in community events and activities is limited or not possible without a clean and safe, easily accessible changing space.
0 comment0BFreyabout 1 year agoProvide places for conversations outside of the main walking area, size spaces so that sign language is comfortable and not restricted
0 comment1Kim12 months agoDesign for Children
Making spaces supportive and intriguing for children has also been found to support all ages, including seniors. Practice is to get down on hands & knees to understand the scale and needs of children.

Envisioning the Future of Southeast Redmond
10 months agoCLOSED: This idea board has concluded, but we'll have additional opportunities over the next year to provide input.Provide input on changes coming to Southeast Redmond. Use this idea board to share your vision of Southeast Redmond ideas with images, links, words, poems, or upload your own drawings.
Questions to consider:
- What is your vision for the future of the Redmond Way corridor? What pedestrian or other improvements would you like to help you navigate this area? Are there any "big ideas" that we should be looking at?
- The Marymoor Village commercial area between the trail and Redmond Way will be rezoned to mixed-use to accommodate future growth (Pancake House, Whole Foods, etc). What would you like that area to look like?
- We want to protect jobs in the industrial and manufacturing that current exist in Redmond. We're looking designating a new center that would be focused on protecting manufacturing and light-industrial in Southeast Redmond. What can we do to help keep jobs in this area? What kinds of jobs do you want to attract?
We've started off this idea board with ideas we've received from the community already. Please add your own, and visit often to comment on and vote on any ideas you see that you love.

AspenRichterabout 1 year agoA place for everyone
I don't usually try to make a point with a meme image, but this one was too accurate to ignore. Please make Redmond a city that is affordable and accessible to all citizens. We need neighborhoods at many socio-economic levels that can support young adults, families just starting out, established families, our well-off tech workers, single adults, the elderly, and more.
0 comment2Devon11 months agoConsider adding (solar-powered) Zero-Emission Vehicle refueling stations to this area so large trucks and UPS vans can more easily go green.
0 comment0David Mortonabout 1 year agoProvide incentives to stay/expand, attract tech companies, attract high-paying, skilled manufacturing jobs, create a sustainable ecosystem.
To help keep jobs in Southeast Redmond, we can provide incentives for manufacturers to stay and expand, and attract tech companies that support these industries. We want to attract high-paying, skilled manufacturing jobs and support industries that can create a sustainable ecosystem. #economicdevelopment #jobcreation

Important to allow for a wide variety of uses that support employees before, during, and after their work hours.
0 comment2Devon11 months agoConsider multi-model transportation access to nearby LWSD property.
To reduce vehicle miles traveled, we need more walkable neighborhoods, and that includes access to schools.
