Are there any local toy drives or anything like that?

Hello to you all, we have a kiddo (2nd grade) that has ADHD. The current school isn't working out. He's having difficulties academically and socially. We're already getting some help outside the school. Trying to find a good fit for him. Any parents w ADHD kid in Redmond who's happy with the school? We are planning to buy a house this summer.

Edit: Looking for public and private school on the Eastside.

Astoud is probably not available right now where I live, and I've left my details in their "Order now" page. Is anyone on this sub actively using Astoud and lives along Avondale? If so, would love to hear feedback on the service. Their rates seem too good to be true - $20/month for 300 Mbps...

I take the bus into Seattle multiple times a week and lately I’ve noticed a lot of new drivers and have had bad experiences with them. Just yesterday I had a driver park past the stop then closed the door on the 4 of us as we walked over because we didn’t immediately run over to where he parked then as soon as the last person payed he floored it. He did the same thing at every stop and I watch multiple people close to falling on their face cause of how sudden it was. He was perfectly on time too so I don’t understand why he was rushing.

The other driver I’ve been seeing lately is a women that got mad at some of us standing up from the bench when we saw the bus and walked over to the bus stop sign but didn’t give a reason why she was mad just that she didn’t like we did that?? I’ve seen her get mad at people like 5 different times because of that

Is anyone else running into this?

Does anyone remember the name? It was in the far corner I am told

How do you guys deal with cars with no mufflers? The loud screaming noises from these things make my head explode. It’s a nightmare. I wear pretty good noise cancelling headphones but it’s not really helpful. Redmond PD is about as helpful as a bucket of dead crabs. The kids next door always cover their ears when these things drive by. I saw a lady approach one of these drivers while parked to ask them to quiet down and she got verbally harassed. Why is this a huge problem here?

I need to walk to stay healthy. I’m looking for ideas on where I can go if I live downtown and want to walk a few miles. So far, I can only think of Marymoor Park as an option, but maybe others can suggest more ideas.

I see stickers on many poles asking people to report near collisions. I’m far away from Redmond for a trip and I want to report this incident.

I was hit at 12:30 pm on 27th Nov at the Redmond way and NE 76th street.

I’m safe however the car rammed into rear wheel of my bike and the driver fled away.

It was a white Toyota RAV4

Lots of police cars near the panera bread and Ross area. Any idea what is going on?

As the title says, wtf is happening there? There are multiple police cars, some from shoreline, and an ambulance or two.

Does anyone have experience with the adult soccer leagues in Redmond? I'm looking for a co-ed adult soccer team as a mid twenties male because I just moved back to the area. I know the winter season is starting in January so I figured now would be a good time to join. I would prefer outdoor but I'm open to indoor. I posted on the message board here but I honestly doubt anyone ever checks that. I'm just a loss for what my options are.

I'm already upskilling professionally and focusing on fitness. The library is closed so can't take daughter there. What are things you recommend that you wish you could have done if you had weekdays when you have time? I can also have some more time to myself while other family helps with toddler care. Please give me more ideas...

Last night I was walking on the Connector trail downtown just after dark.

At the Tipsy Cow garage/driveway, I watched a white SUV decide not to turn right to go onto Cleveland, but instead back up and turn left, to use service vehicle access and drive on the Connector Trail. They stopped to let me walk up the access into the driveway, then drove down the Connector Trail to Leary, turning left through the landscaping onto the last 20 ft of 76th and then onto Leary. They also had to go around another walker nearer to the Leary crosswalk to do this. I did try to flag them down to say 'yo this is a sidewalk' but they showed no sign they saw that. Ironically, in their headlights as they faced across Leary, I could see one of those hot pink signs 'Have You Had a Near Miss?' for folks who've almost been hit by cars to report the incident.

I'm not sure if they were drunk, dumb, or just entitled, but I was pretty nonplussed.

Hello, I am moving there soon and wanted to know about how safe is it? Some sources like the news etc say it is pretty dangerous and that washington is the 2nd most dangerous state. How would you rate redmond on its safety from personal experience? Thank you!

P.S. the source I was talking about was one of the official news stations and an FBI crime report as well as different websites which gauge the crime in the area and all have similar results

Does anybody know if the right turn lane on 76th going to redmond is still closed? It was closed this morning and I have not been able to find anything online relating to it.

Thanks

I am near belred and we got our power back on 11/23. Xfinity has been out since 11/19 and still no sign of internet restoration, the status page just says as soon as possible.

I understand it can take time with storm damage but would have appreciated some transparency or ETA at least. With PSE outage, I knew they were working around the clock, but with xfinity I can't even tell if they are even doing anything. Can't WFH like this, anyone able to get a hold of any xfinity staff that knows more?

UPDATE(11/27): Internet finally got restored this morning

The Redmond Parks Department is urging people to stop going to parks (especially to take pictures with fallen trees!)-- all Redmond parks are closed until crews can make it safe again.

We're posting town/power updates as often as we can on our Instagram @RedmondMoments (our internet has been off and on since the storm, but we're updating when we can!)

Be safe, Redmond! ❤️

Is Astound still down for anyone? I’m trying to figure out if it’s just me. I’ve called their customer service and they weren’t very helpful. I’m near DT and it went down around 3pm on Tuesday. Thanks!

They’re not answering their phone.

EDIT: Answered. Thank you.

We just got power back at the trails of redmond on Bel-red road after 4 days. Happy to escape the cold dark hell finally.

Just wondering what the traffic and parking is like, and how the supplies are holding up. Google Maps is saying that both Redmond and Kirkland stores are "as busy as it gets". I'm guessing that a lot of people are like us, needing to replace their fridge/freezer spoils.

UPDATE: I went to Redmond Costco at around 4pm. It was very busy but manageable. They had most things in stock, but no organic eggs. They didn't have organic eggs last week either.

Is anybody having issues connecting to mint mobile? I cannot make calls from my phone, says, "my phone is not registered on a network."

This post is to express gratitude to the hardworking maintenance teams at the city of Redmond working around the clock to keep the roads clean and safe and traffic flowing the best it can under unprecedented circumstances.

Hopefully they can all get some rest after this insane week.
