Redmond has been featured as the “Best Place to Raise Kids in Washington” by Business Week.  (See the featured article http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/11/1117_best_places_to_raise_kids/48.htm.)   One city in a major metropolitan area in every state was chosen and a local family or, in some cases, a child (or children) with either the skyline or a prominent feature of the metropolitan area in the background was photographed.  Redmond was the choice for Washington, with Shoreline and Bellevue as runners-up. 

Our parks have a lot to do with our livability.  As the weather gets warmer, get out doors and have fun in our many parks and trails.

John Marchione John has served as Mayor of Redmond since January 2008. Prior to that, John spent four years on the Redmond City Council. John’s family moved to Redmond when he was four. Since then, John has called Redmond his home.
