Welcome to Best of Redmond! Redmond's twice-weekly newsletter and podcast about all the amazing things happening in Redmond for the next seven days!📰 Redmond’s Tree Rules Might Be Changing Okay, so Redmond is rewriting its tree code for the first time since 1998, and this one matters whether you own a house or just like living on a tree-lined street. The city is trying to figure out how to balance growth, housing, and keeping Redmond from turning into one giant construction zone with no shade. They’ve extended the public questionnaire deadline to July 31, so there’s still time to weigh in. If you care about what Redmond looks like ten years from now, this is worth a look.🎵 Turnpike Troubadours at Chateau Ste. Michelle Turnpike Troubadours roll into Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery on Thursday, July 2 at 6pm, and this one’s gonna pull a crowd. They’ve got Muscadine Bloodline and Dexter and The Moonrocks opening, so it’s basically a full night of country and rock without a weak spot in the lineup. Gates open about 90 minutes early, and if you’ve been to these summer shows before, you know parking gets messy fast. Get there early, bring water, and settle in.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Funny First Friday at the Farm Remlinger Farms is trying something new Friday, July 3 from 6:30 to 8pm. Family-friendly stand-up comedy, which honestly sounds like a smart move. They’ve got pro comics, arcade games for bigger kids, and a play area for little ones, so it’s one of those rare things where parents can laugh and kids stay busy. Tickets are $10 online, $15 at the door, and kids under 12 get in free. Could be a sneaky good night out.🚲 Willis Tucker, Two Lakes, and Coffee Ride If you’re looking for a solid Thursday morning ride, this one starts July 2 at 9:30am out of Willis Tucker Park and runs about three hours. It’s a moderate pace, around 14 to 16mph, with rolling hills and a few climbs mixed in. The route cuts through Mill Creek and loops past Martha Lake and Silver Lake before a stop at Frost Donuts for coffee and sugar. Helmets are required, and registration closes at 7:30am, so don’t sleep on it.🐾 Dog-Friendly Patios Are Calling Looks like decent weather this weekend, which means patio season is fully on. If you’ve got a dog, this is prime time to grab coffee, lunch, or a beer somewhere they’re actually welcome. Around Redmond, plenty of spots with outdoor seating fill up fast once the sun hits, and dogs usually get treated better than people anyway. Bring water, keep them leashed, and maybe skip the hottest part of the afternoon. Easy weekend move.🐔 Farm Spotlight: Chicken! Farrel-McWhirter Park is doing a chicken-focused farm spotlight on Sunday, July 5 from 10 to 11am, and if you’ve got kids who love animals, this is easy. The volunteers and docents will be out there talking about the chickens, farm history, and answering questions while kids get up close instead of just pointing through a fence. It’s free, but they want registration so they know how many people are coming. Solid low-key Sunday morning plan.📚 Book Signing at SoulFood CoffeeHouse Leslie Barber is at SoulFood CoffeeHouse on Sunday, July 5 from 1 to 3pm for a reading and signing of her book Unemployable!. The book digs into the mental side of proving your worth, which feels pretty relevant right now. They’ll have copies there if you want one, and SoulFood’s the kind of place where these smaller events actually feel personal instead of awkward. Good option if you want something quieter that still gives you something to think about.🧘 Mindfulness at Redmond Library Redmond Library has a mindfulness session Sunday, July 5 from 2:30 to 5pm focused on body awareness and guided meditation. This isn’t one of those “sit still and pretend your brain is quiet” things. It’s more about noticing what your body’s doing and slowing down enough to actually pay attention. It’s aimed at adults and runs a couple hours, so expect something deeper than a quick workshop. Bring comfortable clothes and don’t rush in late.🔮 Redmond Rumor Mill Here’s one making the rounds: rumor has it a luxury picnic catering company might be taking over a small storefront in Old Redmond. We’re hearing it could be part prep kitchen, part retail shop. Charcuterie boards, flowers, blankets, the whole deal. Basically built for people trying to pull off a Marymoor date night without making three stops first. We don’t know if the lease is signed or if it’s actually happening yet. But if it is... which storefront do you think it is?If you've got a guess or have heard something, head to our Facebook page at facebook.com/BestOfRedmond and drop it in the "Redmond Rumor Mill Guesses" post.🗳️ Your Picks: Best Ice Cream in Redmond Alright, that's it for this week.Head on over to facebook.com/BestOfRedmond, find the post called "Your Picks," and drop your vote in the comments.
