Redmond

Visited my uncle here this past August—such a beautiful little city (just like the majority of Washington state XD). I especially loved the graffiti wall; I adore the concept and wish they had one available here in Missouri. Hoping to get into UW, so maybe I’ll be back in Redmond soon =].

Buy a bicycle.
This town is very bicycle friendly. There are trails all throughout the city and they lead everywhere.

It’s the first city I’ve lived in that you do not have to own a car, or have to rely on the bus.

i’m hoping to move to Redmond in just 2 years with my boyfriend/fiance/almost-husband. he’s going to Digipen and i’m hoping to go to grad school somewhere. we are soo excited about moving because we live in Lubbock, Texas now and its horrible here!

Well, I graduated college and they made an offer I couldn’t refuse. I stay for the work, but the long rainy season gets old, so I will consider leaving after now 9 years. Beautiful summers, San Juan Islands, sailing, camping, wonderful live music culture and terrific eating of all ethnic varieties, all the arts you can hope for outside of NY or SF. Terrific outdoors, skiiing, hiking, fishing, lakes, mountains, rain forests, etc.

My advice is to skip RTC completely and go the extra couple of blocks to Victor’s Coffee Company, which to me is the real heart of Redmond. Wonderful little place, awesome hot chocolate, great staff, lots of character.
