How pleasant it is to find the Redmond Reporter in my driveway every Friday. As a longtime Redmond resident, I’ve watched the demise of various newspapers and missed reading our local news after the Eastside Journal stopped publishing.

The Redmond Reporter now does an excellent job of keeping us all informed of what’s happening in our local schools and businesses, updated on local events and letting us know what our many interesting neighbors are up to.

Even though there are negative issues to report I enjoy the positive focus the Reporter generally brings. Isn’t it great that our diverse community can connect with each other through this medium — all at no charge?
