The skin is the largest organ of the body; it offers protection from the elements and helps maintain a healthy body.
Because it has such an important job, Sabrina Tarditi said it is important to take care of your skin. As the owner of Calming Waters Skin Care at 17090 Avondale Way in Redmond (inside Jones Family Chiropractic), the Kirkland resident works as an esthetician and makes a living showing others how to do the same.
“Skin care has come a long way and is much more advanced,” she said, referring to when she first began her career more than 20 years ago. “There’s just so much more you can do. Skin care is just so advanced and it’s so complex.”

Less than a week later, she had to call upon her newly acquired knowledge to save a life — a very near and dear one.
Off duty on Jan. 20, Messmer had just walked into her parents’ home to find her mother in a panic because her father was unconscious. The new officer’s training immediately kicked in as she called 911, which she had learned some people forget to do in an emergency situation.
“I have to call 911 first,” Messmer said, referring to her initial thought.
Beginning March 4, Evergreen Family Theatre (EFT) will prove love can overcome anything, even stupidity.
For its seventh main stage production, the theater, which is located at RedWood Family Church, 11500 Redmond-Woodinville Rd, is taking on Neil Simon’s romantic comedy, “Fools,” a romantic comedy set in Kulyenchikov, Ukraine during the late 19th century. The play is the story of schoolteacher Leon Tolchinsky, who comes into town to teach the local doctor’s daughter and falls in love with her, only to learn that all of Kulyenchikov is the victim of a 200-year-old curse of stupidity.
“This (play is) a lot of fun,” said director Marsha Stueckle. “This one is totally goofy … a goofy, whimsical show.”

What began in 1976 in Bothell for Bob Lovett ended in Redmond earlier this week.

“I had no inkling to go into fire service, but I was looking for a job,” Lovett said. “I was definitely thinking I might end up doing something else. I never thought it was a career.”
From its humble beginning in 1936, Cadman Incorporated has gone from a company supplying concrete aggregates to local farmers, timber crews and the occasional road project to a well-known name in the industry.
Despite having grown to an international level, Cadman has maintained its strong ties to its Redmond roots. Cadman human resources supervisor Gwyn Hart said the company provided the concrete for many local projects such as the Nintendo and Microsoft Corporation campuses — adding that Cadman poured nearly all the concrete for the latter. This was largely due to the company’s location in town, which is not necessarily the case these days.
