Located between Washington's dramatic Cascade mountain range and sparkling Puget Sound, and surrounded by towering evergreen forests, Redmond is known for its natural beauty. In a city with 34 parks and over 25 miles of trails, it's easy to forget that you're within 20 minutes of downtown Seattle and a short ride away from great skiing! Arts and entertainment are alive in Redmond, too, with live theatre, music, film and literary arts for every taste.
