Located in the heart of what is known as Seattle's Eastside, Redmond
is an award winning city in a pristine setting. Redmond
and neighboring Bellevue
serve as the Eastside's commercial and retail centers as well as the hub for
the always-expanding business climate that attracts traditional commerce and
entrepreneurs of all types.
Although best known for its business
climate, with companies like Microsoft and Nintendo making their homes here, Redmond has become a
popular weekend getaway spot for fun-seekers as well.
Redmond offers many entertainment resources, including the Redmond Town Center,
which contains over 100 shops, several restaurants, live theater, and
world-class hotels. In addition, Redmond
is known for having more than 20 parks, spanning more than 1,000 acres of open
space with 17 miles of trails for walking, biking, inline skating, and
horseback riding.
Marymoor Park is particularly well-known, with its 45-foot-high
climbing wall, a model-airplane flying circuit, lighted sports fields, dog
park, summer concerts, and its famous Velodrome.
