From successful celebrations of favorite local traditions, such as Redmond Lights and Derby Days, to an array of exciting, innovative construction projects under way at Overlake and in downtown, 2013 proved to be a rewarding year for our Redmond community.

To share all the wonderful accomplishments from last year, the City assembled a special Year in Review edition of our quarterly FOCUS newsletter. Inside this issue you’ll find recaps and updates covering a broad range of citywide efforts and programs, from sustainability success stories and ongoing construction initiatives to the many ways in which we are advancing innovation and efficiencies in our service delivery to you.

For those who haven’t received it, this special edition of FOCUS will be arriving at your mailbox soon, and we hope you enjoy it. Please remember to visit the city website at www.redmond.gov for more information on citywide programs, as well as current and future projects designed to improve and strengthen our community.

As always, thank you for your continued support, energy and efforts. We look forward to serving you in 2014.
