Business Week magazine recently chose Redmond as 2010’s Best Place to Raise Your Kids in Washington state. Redmond’s excellent parks, trails and schools were among the reasons for the honor.
In case you didn’t know, each month, Family Circle magazine publishes a “My Hometown” feature in which a proud resident explains why his or her hometown is unique and great for families.
In the Feb. 2010 issue, the featured town is Waukesha, Wis. and a resident sings the praises of Waukesha’s historic buildings and shops, cultural festivals and parks and recreation amenities.
Wouldn’t it be fun to see Redmond spotlighted in Family Circle?
