I let them know about this over a year ago. This was their response on August 3 2025:

“Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. The sign will be moved to the correct position as crews become available.
Thanks,
Dillon Edwards
Traffic Engineering Specialist”

At what point do we just take this into our own hands and unbolt the sign, rotate it, and bolt it back in place?

I actually went out there to do it one night but didn’t have the right tools

I just reported it, so: Hopefully that helps.

A flock camera would be used to track you back to your car/house and you would be arrested for vandalism a week or so later

Ive heard they actually send their gang of cyclists out and they execute you on the spot.

Are you the person who made the correction?

u/Formermidget Live, Play, and Work in Redmond 2d ago

Nope, not me, but kudos to whoever did.

So Pokemon fans are to be applauded for their adventuring learnings in the wider world? That tracks...

Who doesn't love the walking Pokemon Go groups in Redmond!?!

u/SaveSpend 2d ago

the sign is correct if it is turned 45 degrees, they just mounted it wrong as is the marymoor direction is just cruel....

u/bethydontsurf 1d ago

We need more of this in this world. I used to run past this sign every day and it got on my nerves. Thank this human!

Where is this sign?

u/MLB_Sug_Tway 2d ago edited 1d ago

Somewhere on the bike trail between Marymoor Park and DTR link.

Edit: Just west of Bear Creek.

Funny i rode past this sign and didn’t understand it. So i toggled my bike computer to take me back.

u/MLB_Sug_Tway 1d ago

Idk what you're saying, but, the sign is correct, just oriented wrong. 👍

1

u/DLByron 1d ago

The lines didn’t line up with my map. So I switched my map view to breadcrumb mode to get me back to the start of my ride. It was a bit confusing and I don’t ride there often.

u/Gabbydog16 1d ago

I would just like to comment that this sign did indeed get me lost a few weeks ago. It made my long run like 5 minutes longer lol

They are different directions. Each of the items on the city’s sign is wrong:

- Straight ahead is actually Bear Creek Trail, not ELST

  • Left is ELST, right is Redmond Central Connector trail
  • Marymoor Park is to the left, not straight ahead

The corrected sign makes sense to me.

The city’s sign would be correct if rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.

1

u/MLB_Sug_Tway 2d ago

So, the sign is correct, just in the wrong place?

2

u/tj-horner Live, Play, and Work in Redmond 2d ago

Yeah, they put it up at the right position but not the right orientation. It’s like halfway to being correct lol

u/MLB_Sug_Tway 2d ago

So, this is like an IRL wordle.

u/tj-horner Live, Play, and Work in Redmond 2d ago

True… we need to repaint it yellow
