The City of Redmond is teaming up with the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce and nonprofits Realize Redmond and Redmond Economic Development Alliance (REDA) to develop One Redmond, a public-private initiative that focuses on economic vitality and community building. A panel with representatives from the four agencies spoke to a full house during the chamber's monthly member luncheon, which had been postponed last month due to the mid-January snowstorm, about the initiative.
Women in Redmond now have a new salon to visit for their pampering needs and a special service not offered in many places.
Evergreen Healthcare recently announced it has been named a Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence for the fourth consecutive year by HealthGrades, which places the community-based healthcare organization among the top 5 percent of hospitals nationally for its quality patient care and superior clinical performance.
Local celebrity John Curley will be the master of ceremonies for the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce's 66th Annual Gala and Auction for the second straight year.
The event, one of the chamber's major fundraisers of the year, will be held Feb. 24 at Willows Lodge in Woodinville with festivities starting at 5:30 p.m. Dinner and the live auction will begin at 7:30 p.m.
