  • A Recovery Gym Near the Trail? & Best Outdoor Dining in Redmond

    A Recovery Gym Near the Trail? & Best Outdoor Dining in Redmond
    2026/07/16
    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!🚔 City Responds to Resident ComplaintsRedmond police recently wrapped up a months-long investigation into a massage business after neighbors reported suspected illegal activity. Investigators worked with regional law enforcement, served search warrants, made arrests, and the business closed. We don't usually spend much time on crime here, but this one matters for a simple reason: people spoke up, and the city followed through. If something around your neighborhood genuinely feels off, use the proper reporting channels instead of assuming someone else will handle it. In this case, those reports clearly made a difference.⚽ Marymoor Becomes Redmond's Soccer HeadquartersMarymoor Park turns into Redmond's soccer headquarters on Sunday, July 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a giant championship watch party. The match will play on a huge outdoor screen, with Redmond High's marching band, Rhythms of India, DJ Charma, Sounders guests, family activities, food trucks, beer, and wine around the park. Parking will be tight, so biking or taking the 2 Line to Marymoor Village is probably the easier move. Bring a blanket, sunscreen, and enough time to enjoy more than just the game.🎵 Free Live Music at SoulFood CoffeehouseHighersElves brings a mellow folk set to SoulFood Coffeehouse on Wednesday, July 15, starting at 5 p.m. The duo leans into acoustic melodies, close harmonies, and the kind of outdoorsy sound that fits an easy summer evening. The show is free, and SoulFood is one of those places where people actually settle in instead of grabbing coffee and leaving. Get there a little early if you want a decent seat, order something before the music starts, and plan on hanging out for a while. This one's simple, local, and easy.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Lavender Festival Returns to WoodinvilleJB Family Growers opens its Lavender Festival on Saturday and Sunday, July 18 and 19, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. in Woodinville. Vendor booths run until 5 p.m., with local makers, food, lavender products, and plenty of room to wander the fields. Even if lavender usually isn't your thing, the rows are great for photos and the farm gives kids space to explore without everything feeling overly programmed. Go earlier in the day for cooler weather, easier parking, and fewer people between you and the best photo spots.🚲 Bicycle BlingRedmond's Pedal Forward Eastside rebate program gave qualifying residents up to $2,000 toward a new e-bike, with other households eligible for $500. The application window is closed now, but the bigger story is where the city is heading. Between better trail access, more bike infrastructure, and programs that make e-bikes less expensive, cycling keeps becoming a more realistic option for commuting around the Eastside. Keep an eye on future city announcements, because incentives like this tend to get attention fast and any next round could fill up quickly.🧘 Stress Less at the Redmond LibraryRedmond Library is hosting Stress Less: Yoga for Calming Anxiety on Friday, July 17, from 4 to 5 p.m. for teens who could use a real break from school, sports, jobs, social media, and everything else piling up. The free hour includes gentle yoga, breathing exercises, and simple mindfulness tools, with no yoga experience required. This isn't about perfect poses. It's about giving teens a few practical ways to slow down when their brains won't cooperate. Registration is smart, and comfortable clothes are probably the only thing they need.🐾 Seattle Humane's Ice Cream Social ReturnsSeattle Humane's Ice Cream Social takes over Marymoor Park on Saturday, July 18, from noon to 2 p.m. for dogs, their people, and anyone who thinks free ice cream is a reasonable weekend plan. There'll be open space for pups, trainers to answer questions, games, prizes, giveaways, and treats for the humans too. Your dog does not need to be social-media ready or perfectly behaved. Sniffing every tree is completely acceptable. RSVP ahead so organizers know you're coming, then bring water, waste bags, and a leash for an easy afternoon outside.🎼 Shakespeare Meets a Live OrchestraAll the World's a Song brings Shakespeare and a live orchestra together at the Redmond Performing Arts Center on Saturday, July 18, from 4 to 6 p.m. Actors perform scenes from the plays while the orchestra handles the big emotional moments, so it lands somewhere between a concert and a stage show. You don't need to remember anything from high school English to follow it. Tickets range from free to $12, which is unusually reasonable for a live performance like this. Check availability before you go, because the cheaper seats may disappear first.🕰️ Redmond History MinuteOkay, it's time for the Redmond History Minute, where we share an interesting piece of history, trivia, or tidbit about life in and around Redmond.What...

  • Taiwanese Shaved Ice in Overlake? Plus, Who Is The Best Family Dining in Redmond

    Taiwanese Shaved Ice in Overlake? Plus, Who Is The Best Family Dining in Redmond
    2026/07/14
    🐴 The Horses Helping Redmond FamiliesSome of the best things happening in Redmond aren't new restaurants or big events. They're places quietly changing lives every single day. Little Bit Therapeutic Riding Center has been doing exactly that for decades, helping children and adults with disabilities build confidence, strength, and independence through adaptive horseback riding and equine-assisted services. A recent Seattle's Child feature shines a spotlight on the incredible work happening right here in our community. If you've never visited Little Bit, this is one of those Redmond organizations that's worth knowing about because it's making a real difference for local families every day.🎬 Movies at Marymoor Returns With Mamma MiaIf you've been waiting for movie nights at Marymoor Park, they're back. Wednesday July 15 they’re showing Mamma Mia. Gates open at 7:00 p.m., giving you plenty of time to grab dinner from the food trucks, catch the pre-show entertainment, and claim a spot before the movie starts after sunset. Bring blankets or lawn chairs because it's all outdoors, and parking is free. Tickets are $10 plus the King County park fee and service charges. It's one of those classic Redmond summer nights that's easy to make a family outing or a date night.👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 World Cup Watch Party Takes Over Redmond Town CenterIf you're looking for somewhere to watch the World Cup on Saturday, July 18, Redmond Town Center is turning center court into a giant watch party. The fun starts at 12:30 and goes to about 4pm with local DJs, kids' activities, virtual reality soccer, games, giveaways, and a huge screen for the match. Even if you're not a hardcore soccer fan, there's enough going on to keep the whole family entertained. Head to Redmond Town Center early if you want a good spot because these community watch parties tend to fill up once the pregame festivities get rolling.🌸 Flower Bar, Flights & FashionHere's a fun one for Thursday, July 16. The businesses along Leary Way are teaming up for a neighborhood block party centered around Palmers East. They're setting up a flower bar, serving specialty cocktail flights, and bringing in Styled With Claire and Woodpecker Flooring for a shopping and community event that feels more like a summer get-together than a typical happy hour. It starts at 4:00 p.m., so you can swing by after work, build your own bouquet, grab a drink, and check out what the neighborhood businesses have been putting together.🎨 Turn Your Memories Into a Comic BookIf you've got an older kid who's always doodling or dreaming up stories, the Redmond Library has a free Memoir Comics Workshop on Thursday, July 16, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. Seattle comics artist Vivian Li will show participants how real comics come together, from sketching with blue pencils and inking to lettering and telling a story from their own life. All the supplies are provided, so they just need to show up ready to create. It's for ages 11 and up, and it's a pretty cool chance to learn from someone who does this professionally.🚲 Bicycle Bling: Kiddie Kilo Returns to the VelodromeIf you've got a kid who loves riding anything with wheels, the Kiddie Kilo is happening Friday, July 17, at the Jerry Baker Memorial Velodrome in Marymoor Park. Kids 12 and under can take a fun lap around the track on just about anything they ride, from bikes and trikes to push bikes and other creative wheel-powered rides. Helmets are required, kids ride free, and adults are asked for a $5 donation. Registration starts around 6:30 p.m., with the Kiddie Kilo wrapping up between 7:30 and 8:00 p.m. Just keep an eye on the weather because rain can cancel race night.🏓 Watch Some Seriously Good Pickleball at Perrigo ParkEven if you're not signing up, Saturday, July 18, is a good day to swing by Perrigo Park if you've caught the pickleball bug. The City's Summer Pickleball Tournament runs from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with some of the area's stronger recreational players battling it out in doubles matches. These aren't beginners learning the rules. Expect long rallies, quick hands at the net, and plenty of competitive play. Bring a chair or just stop by for a while if you're curious why pickleball has become one of the fastest-growing sports around.🎭 Emojiland Brings the Internet to the StageIf you're looking for something a little different this week, SecondStory Repertory is wrapping up its run of Emojiland: The Musical through Sunday, July 19. The show imagines what happens inside your phone when a software update puts every emoji at risk, turning familiar little icons into a funny, surprisingly heartfelt musical about friendship, identity, and finding your place. Tickets are $35, and performances are at SecondStory Rep in Redmond Town Center. If you're in the mood for live theater instead of another movie night, this one's definitely the most unique show in town.🕰️ Redmond History MinuteQuestion: What unique animal ...

  • New Bánh Mì in Redmond? Plus Safer Streets

    New Bánh Mì in Redmond? Plus Safer Streets
    2026/07/09
    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 Wants Your Input on Safer StreetsThe City of Redmond is asking for your help with a new citywide speed study that could shape how fast people drive on major streets for years to come. As part of the city's Safer Streets Action Plan, they're looking at speeds on arterial and connector roads and figuring out where lower speed limits or other changes could improve safety. You can drop pins on an interactive map or fill out a short questionnaire to share your experience with speeding. If you've ever thought, "People fly down this road," now's your chance to let the city know before future speed limits are decided.🍺 Big Block Brewing Turns 13Big Block Brewing is throwing a Lucky 13 birthday party on Saturday, July 11, from noon until 9:00 PM at 14950 NE 95th Street, and they've packed the day with something for just about everyone. There'll be live music, special beer releases, food trucks, a classic car show, face painting, glitter tattoos, a tattoo truck, and even a macarons vendor. Kids are welcome, dogs are welcome, and the whole event is free. If you're looking for one place where the whole family can spend a few hours this weekend, this is a pretty easy choice.🚗 Italian Car Day at Redmond Town CenterSaturday mornings at Redmond Town Center are already fun if you like cool cars, but July 11 from 9:00 to 11:00 AM is all about Italy. Italian Car Day brings everything from Ferraris and Lamborghinis to Alfa Romeos, Maseratis, and Fiats together in one place. It's free to walk around, chat with owners, and get a close look at cars you don't normally see outside of magazines.🎵 Marcus King Band Comes to Marymoor LiveOne of the biggest concerts in town this week lands at Marymoor Live on Sunday, July 12. Doors open at 5:00 PM, and the Marcus King Band takes the stage at 7:00 PM after an opening set from Penelope Road. If you've never been to a summer concert at Marymoor, this is a good excuse to change that. Bring a blanket, plan to arrive early, and settle in before the music starts.🚲 Bicycle BlingBad news if you were planning to ride the inaugural GETMAD cycling event this year. The Redmond Cycling Club has canceled the ride after permitting issues and questions about using state highways and the closed section of SR 165 couldn't be worked out. A lot of local riders were looking forward to adding another big Northwest ride to the calendar, so this one definitely stings. The club says it hopes to bring the event back in the future, so here's hoping this ends up being a postponement instead of the end of the ride.🐾 Piggy Cup at PetcoThis might be the cutest thing happening in Redmond all week. Petco Redmond is hosting Piggy Cup 2026 on Sunday, July 12, from 2:00 to 3:00 PM, where miniature pigs take the field for a soccer match while kids cheer them on. There'll be family activities, plenty of photo opportunities, and everyone gets to pick their favorite little MVPiggy. It's free to attend, and even if you're just stopping by while running errands, this one should put a smile on your face.💼 Retirement Planning Workshop at the LibraryIf retirement is on your mind, the Redmond Library is hosting a free workshop on Sunday, July 12, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM covering the five phases of retirement planning. They'll talk through tax-efficient withdrawals, required minimum distributions, beneficiary planning, and ways to build a retirement strategy that can adapt as life changes. It's geared toward adults 50 and older, whether retirement is still a few years away or you've already made the leap. Bring your questions because this is one of those topics that's easier to understand when someone walks you through it.🕰️ Redmond History MinuteOkay, it's time for the Redmond History Minute, where we share an interesting piece of history, trivia, or tidbit about life in and around Redmond.Which historic Redmond building once housed the town's undertaker, barber, hardware store, pizza parlor, and originally opened as a saloon in 1913?A) The Clise MansionB) The Matador BuildingC) The Old Redmond SchoolhouseD) The Leary BuildingAnswer revealed at the bottom of this newsletter.🔮 Redmond Rumor MillIs a Bánh Mì Shop Coming to Downtown Redmond?Here's one we'd be pretty happy to see happen. We've been hearing that a Vietnamese sandwich and coffee shop could be looking at a spot along the Cleveland Street corridor. The rumor is they'll be serving bánh mì sandwiches, iced cà phê sữa đá, and other quick lunch favorites in a small, fast-service space. We've also heard the owner has spent the last three years building a following through farmers market pop-ups, but we haven't been able to confirm any of that yet.So...is this Redmond's next great lunch spot, or is it still just neighborhood chatter?If you've got a guess or have heard something, head ...
