City facts

With nearly 55,000 residents, Redmond is the 18th-largest city in Washington and is known for being home to Microsoft Corp. and having a healthy economic base, a high quality of life and quality schools. Geographically, the city comprises more than 16 square miles between Woodinville to the north, Kirkland to the west, Bellevue to the south and Sammamish to the east. Settled in the late 1870s by Irish immigrant Luke McRedmond and New England transplants William and Laura Perrigo, the town incorporated in 1912 with 300 residents. Many descendants of these and other early families of Redmond still live in the area. While it maintains a proud history, Redmond is also known for some of its more recent residents, including Nintendo of America, Medtronic, the popular Redmond Town Center and a number of other businesses within the technology field. Back in 2005, most city departments moved into the $40 million City Hall.

Itâ€™s an irrefutable fact that Redmond has changed in the past 25 years. From the origins of the Stone House and Clock Tower to the new high rise condos that have sprung up in the last few years. But one place has been around through it all, the Old Fire House Teen Center, located at 16510 N.E. 79th St. Originally a fire station/city hall/police station back in the early 1950s, the building has been occupied since 1992 by teenagers and the staff of the City of Redmond Parks and Recreation department. From 1992 to 1994, it served as a concert venue, a place for local teenage musicians to come and perform for other teenagers, functioning as one of the most popular venues on the Eastside for teens. After 1994, the building instituted a drop-in program that has been going strong for the past 23 years. Working as a concert venue on Fridays, and a place for teens to engage in a variety of activities, the building served as a hub of Redmond teen life. And it still does just that. Any day of the week you can find teens making the most of their sparse free time; playing music in the recording studio, art shows for local teen artists, basketball games on the outdoor court, celebrations for holidays from the obscure like National Pretzel Day to cultural events like Lunar New Year, hosting lectures from the Pacific Science Center, or holding events for any number of Redmond Highâ€™s numerous clubs. On any given Friday, youâ€™ll find local teen bands from all over the Eastside playing for supportive and all-age crowds. Parks and recreation staff run the building, but if you were to ask any of them, theyâ€™d tell you that the most important thing to the building is the organization and leadership of Redmond teens. The building has always strived to give as much power as possible to the teens that come in, focusing on â€œteen-led programming,â€? where teens in the building set up, advertise and lead events under the tutelage of staff simultaneously building leadership skills and providing a service for their fellow teens. It gives a different feel to the building, a feel that everything here is created and cared for by the teens who love the community and want to contribute to it. The recent construction around the Old Fire House has made it confusing to see if the teen center is open due to street closure and parking changes. The building is still open and the construction has just made the building easier to see from the street. Twenty-five years seemed so old in teen years, but the legacy continues with our anniversary celebration this September with entertainment, cultural programs, a look back at what was, and planning for the next 25 years. Come and join in the fun.
