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!

Downtown Building Designs
10 months agoThank you for sharing your ideas and feedback on Downtown architectural and building designs for new development. Your thoughts are helping us plan the buildings of 2050.
Staff is using your feedback to develop Downtown’s design standards for new development. We will post the preliminary staff recommendations later this fall at https://www.redmond.gov/2048/Redmond-Zoning-Code-Rewrite-Phase-3.

Kim10 months agoMixed-Materials Duplex
Sorauren 118 in Toronto, Canada provides an example of mixed material on a unit-by-unit basis. Masonry, steel, and glass are used for the right unit and wood, steel, and glass for the left unit. There is a general consistency of color over the entire exterior of the building’s design.
6Kim10 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.
1Kim10 months agoSpectra in Marymoor Village
This was the first building constructed after the Marymoor Village plan was adopted. A public art installation is visible in the center and along the ground floor of this facade. The ground floor is projected forward along the left, creating a second-story community deck. Corners are also rounded to provide differentiation and distinction between the Spectra and neighboring buildings.
1Kim10 months agoProjected Balconies
This building creates uniqueness by projecting balconies outward. It focuses this effect along the primary facade, while using simple design with modulation (horizontal variety) along its secondary facade.
1Kim10 months agoAppearance of Siding
This mixed-use building employs exterior material reflecting vertical, shiplap siding more typically found in single-family, residential developments.

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.
Devon12 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 comment0angiemendoza10 months agoThis area of Redmond is hard and dangerous to access by bike and feels disconnected because of the highway. The sidewalks are quite narrow.
Improve pedestrians and cyclists access
0 comment0Devon12 months agoConsider closing some areas of Marymoor Village to car traffic like in Redmond Town Center.
0 comment0Kimabout 1 year agoInterior Community Gathering
Indoor spaces for community to meet and/or schedule throughout their regular day is also important. Occasional pass-by in common areas can be supportive of relationship building and mental health. Carefully design interior spaces to be supportive of both happenstance meetings and planned, community meetings (for example: knitting, games, music circles, paint and sip, and civics).

Envisioning the Future of Southeast Redmond
11 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.

- Drop in to see the changes coming to Southeast Redmond at an open house on April 6 at the Marymoor Village community center.
AspenRichterabout 1 year agoA place for light industrial
I appreciate the inclusion of light industrial and manufacturing in the plan for Redmond. We are in danger of making the entire city too homogenously residential and tech. We need industry too to support construction and to provide a more diverse tax base. (Let's not take a NIMBY viewpoint. Keep industry!)
1 comment1Devon12 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. Read more about the nearby LWSD land-purchase here: : https://www.lwsd.org/programs-and-services/communications/news/news-details/~board/construction/post/district-purchases-redmond-property-for-future-school
0 comment0AspenRichterabout 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 comment2David Mortonabout 1 year agoAnother vision for the future of the Redmond Way corridor.
Wishes: 1. The rezoning could bring in new businesses that complement the existing ones, such as more restaurants, cafes, and shops. 2. The mixed-use zoning could encourage the development of more housing units, including affordable and workforce housing options. 3. The new zoning could create a more walkable and bike-friendly environment, with improved sidewalks, bike lanes, and crosswalks. 4. The rezoning could incentivize developers to incorporate sustainable and green design features, such as energy-efficient buildings, rainwater harvesting, and green roofs. 5. The new zoning could allow for more flexibility in land use, such as the ability to combine retail and residential uses in the same building or lot. 6. The rezoning could help attract more foot traffic and customers to the area, boosting economic activity and vitality. Concerns: 1. The rezoning could lead to increased traffic congestion and parking issues, as more people come to live, work, and visit the area. 2. The mixed-use zoning could potentially result in the displacement of existing businesses or residents, especially if the new developments are not affordable or accessible to them. 3. The new zoning could change the character and identity of the neighborhood, with potential impacts on the quality of life, aesthetics, and sense of community. 4. The rezoning could affect the natural environment and wildlife habitat, if not carefully planned and implemented with environmental considerations in mind. 5. The mixed-use zoning could lead to conflicts between different land uses, such as noise or privacy issues between residential and commercial properties. 6. The rezoning could have implications for public services and infrastructure, such as the need for additional schools, parks, or utilities to accommodate the increased demand.

Create spaces that allow for a variety of uses. For example, allow weekend pop up events and pop up dining/markets in places where MP/ID occurs during weekdays. Also allow permanent places for food trucks to gather.
