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 Buys New Home for Public Works CrewsMost of us never think about the people fixing water lines, maintaining parks, repairing city vehicles, or keeping storm drains clear until something breaks. That's why a recent Redmond City Council decision is more interesting than it sounds. The city just approved the purchase of a new 9.1-acre property that will become the future home of Redmond's Maintenance and Operations Center, replacing facilities that have been serving the city for decades.The crews working there help keep Redmond running behind the scenes every day. As the city continues to grow, officials say the new site will give those teams more room and better facilities to keep up with demand. Not the flashiest project in town, but definitely one you'll appreciate the next time everything works exactly the way it's supposed to.🥕 Redmond Veg FestEven if you're not vegan, this one sounds like a fun way to spend part of a Saturday. Redmond Veg Fest takes over Downtown Park on June 20 starting at noon with plant-based food vendors, live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, and activities for kids. The whole thing is free, which makes it pretty easy to wander through and see what catches your attention.There will be plenty of opportunities to sample food, meet local businesses, and learn a little more about plant-based living without anyone giving you a lecture. Some people will come for the food, some will come for the music, and some will just be looking for something different to do. Show up hungry and give yourself more time than you think you'll need.🎵 Buju Banton & Stephen Marley at Marymoor LiveMarymoor Live keeps rolling this summer, and next up is a pretty big one. Buju Banton and Stephen Marley bring the Roots and Rhymes Tour to Marymoor Park on Wednesday, June 17, with doors opening at 4:00 PM and the show starting at 6:00 PM. If reggae is your thing, this is one of the biggest shows to hit Redmond this season.The outdoor setting at Marymoor always makes concerts feel a little more relaxed, and this lineup brings together two artists with deep roots in reggae music. Expect a crowd, good energy, and a lot of people staking out spots on the lawn early. Bring a blanket, get there ahead of showtime, and enjoy one of the bigger summer concerts in town.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Summer Reading Launch Party at Farrel-McWhirter ParkSummer reading officially gets underway on Wednesday, June 17 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Farrel-McWhirter Park. KCLS is kicking things off with games, activities, reading guides, and plenty of space for kids to spread out with a book and start working toward this year's reading challenge prizes.What makes this one different from a typical library event is the location. Farrel-McWhirter already has trails, open space, and farm animals, so kids can spend time with goats, rabbits, and pigs between activities. Bring a picnic blanket, pack a few snacks, and let the kids get a head start on a summer challenge that might actually get them excited about reading.🚲 Bicycle Bling: Up to $2,000 Off an E-Bike?Okay, if you've been even a little curious about e-bikes, this might be worth your time. Pedal Forward Eastside is hosting an event at the North Bellevue Community Center on Thursday, June 18 at 6:00 PM where residents can learn about a regional rebate program that could provide up to $2,000 toward the purchase of an e-bike.They'll have bikes available for test rides, experts on hand to answer questions, and information about how the application process works. E-bikes seem to be showing up everywhere around Redmond lately, and a rebate that size definitely gets people's attention. Before spending a bunch of money on a new ride, this looks like an easy way to see what all the excitement is about.🐾 Father's Day at Pickles PlaylandIf the dad in your life happens to have four legs and a wagging tail, Pickles Playland has something planned for him too. Their Father's Day celebration takes place on Thursday, June 18 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, giving dogs and their humans a chance to enjoy an afternoon of activities together.Pickles has become one of the more unique pet-focused spots in the area, and special events like this tend to attract a pretty social crowd of local dog owners. Expect plenty of dogs running around, lots of photo opportunities, and a chance to meet other people who are just as obsessed with their pets as you are. If your dog enjoys making new friends, this is probably their kind of afternoon.🎨 Rainbow on the Eastside Opening ReceptionPride Month celebrations continue in Redmond with the opening reception for Rainbow on the Eastside at Centro Cultural Mexicano on Thursday, June 18 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
