Redmond’s Together Center announced the addition of Pedro Castro to its board of directors.

Castro, a Redmond resident, is founder and principal of Magellan Architects, located in Redmond. He recently completed a term on the Washington State Board of Architecture Registration, a six-year position for which he was appointed by the state governor. He has also served on a variety of other boards, including the Lake Washington Institute of Technology Advisory Board, the Washington Minority Business Advisory Council and Emerald Heights, among others.

“We are very lucky to have Pedro join the work of our board of directors,” said board chair Chandra Roussell. “He is very involved in the community and has been a strong supporter of Together Center. His expertise and experience are a real asset to us.”

Castro made news in 2013 by riding his motorcycle from Redmond to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, his native country.

One of the first nonprofit multi-tenant centers in the nation, Together Center was designed first and foremost to lower barriers to finding help. Where East King County residents once needed to travel from Bothell to Renton or beyond to find help at individual locations, people from throughout the Eastside, now find comprehensive assistance at one location in downtown Redmond.

Services include medical and dental care, youth shelter, child care assistance, youth and family counseling and more. Tens of thousands of people were assisted on campus last year.

Together Center is located at 16225 N.E. 87th St. For more information, contact (425) 869-6699 or visit www.togethercenter.org.
