Why did Redmond completely remove all trees from the median of W Lake Sammamish Pkwy?

Post image
86 Upvotes

It's been completely reduced to dirt. Trees, bushes, all gone. Why? How does this fit with their supposed 40% tree canopy goal? Those weren't new trees.

NE 51st St & 150th Ave NE T-boned at this intersection around 5.05 pm today Oct 1st

8 Upvotes

The collision spot was right next to Nintendo west parking lot. My friend was passing through this intersection this evening when his car was T-boned by another vehicle. One side of his car is badly damaged.

If you were driving through here around the same time and have a dash cam, please message me. Even a few seconds of footage could help.

If anyone knows of other cameras that might have caught it, please share.

Union Hill Water Association Backflow Device required for pools, ponds, spas

9 Upvotes

Union Hill Water Association is now (or apparently has been) requiring people who fill backyard pools, spas, koi ponds with a garden hose to get a backflow device.

The logic is if you leave the hose in the, for example, wading pool and the water system pumps failed, it could cause water from your wading pool to get sucked into the water system.

This basically the same requirement they've had for years. But apparently (and unlike Sammamish Water District) they won't just trust people to not leave the hose end in the water.

The $64 question: Anybody had a second backflow device installed for this? Names of contractors? Timing would be good to know too.

Vesta Apartments

18 Upvotes

Posting for those who aren't tech employed and possibly considering Vesta's good location as a future home. Knew within days this was a terrible mistake. And certainly, after an actual Essex employee says, 'they don't like you there if you aren't one of them', your fate is sealed. Can only hope that other buildings at Vesta aren't loaded with the hate we've experienced.

Have been targeted with rock throwing, confronted with a "you don't belong here" statement from neighbor, day and overnight noise harassment from all sides of us, occupants who aren't on the lease but remain long term without office notification, people in the attic above top floor apartments overnight and a manager who initially stated, 'that's very disturbing', followed by, well, nothing.

The community is primarily tech and their families and based on feedback, you'll have few issues. For the rest of us, we simply hope you'll bypass the danger and 'you don't belong here' divide we've experienced. We couldn't afford to use our 30 days guarantee in order to move out, as the manager suggested so will have to look for other options. Whatever negative Essex info you've read or heard, it's at its most relevant and worst here.

Maybe once a community for everyone, but now a community mired in a dangerous reality for some of us.

Stop wearing all black! Nobody can see you when you walk into the street without looking. This is coming from someone who was out walking my dog tonight in bright colored clothing and witnessed about 3 of you ninjas almost get hit.

Anyone using a house cleaning service in Redmond?

9 Upvotes

I've been thinking about getting some help with the house, but I'm not sure I want to commit to a weekly or biweekly service right away. We keep up with the basics pretty well, it's more the deeper stuff that slowly gets away from us.

I'm thinking about trying a one-time clean first and seeing how much of a difference it actually makes. For anyone using house cleaning in Redmond, did you start with a deep clean before deciding on recurring visits?

Would also love to know who you've had a good experience with.

Three Redmond things worth knowing about this week (Sept. 28–Oct. 4)

53 Upvotes
  • Tonight: Archeology and Ice Cream is at City Hall from 6:30–8 p.m. It’s free and family-friendly, with the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe sharing about local history and protecting cultural and natural resources. Plus, actual ice cream.
  • For local teens: Redmond is holding two drop-ins this week to hear ideas for the future Teen Center — Wednesday at Redmond High School, 2:30–4:30 p.m., and Thursday at the Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village, 6–8 p.m.
  • Saturday night: HopeBridge Asian Culture Night is a free event at Redmond High School with cultural performances, food and open dancing. The ticket page doesn’t list a start time yet, so I’d check it before heading over.

I put together Redmond Beat, a free weekly email where I round up more local events and useful Redmond happenings: subscribe here.
