The Redmond Historical Society will meet from 10:30 a.m. to noon on March 9 at The Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, 16600 N.E. 80 St.

Andy Weiss will share memories of his European immigrant family, which came to Salmonberg (Redmond) in about 1872. He will bring to life what it was like living here at that time, the local culture, no electricity or running water, working in the woods, when the timber companies and railroads were king.
