City of Redmond Transitions Teen Programs from Old Fire House

The City of Redmond is transitioning its teen programs from the Old Fire House Teen Center, which has been in operation for 72 years, to the Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village and other city facilities. This decision follows extensive assessments that identified significant structural challenges within the Old Fire House, prompting a proactive approach to ensure continued service for local teens. Mayor Angela Birney highlighted the importance of this relocation in maintaining service levels while creating opportunities for program expansion. The future of the Old Fire House will be determined through a public process led by the City Council, which will actively seek community input. As part of this transition, a separate engagement process will commence in April, focusing on enhancing teen services throughout Redmond.

Community members are invited to visit the city’s website for further information and to provide feedback regarding the transition. This initiative underscores the city’s commitment to serving its youth and honoring the legacy of a cherished community space. The proactive steps being taken reflect a dedication to both safety and service continuity for Redmond’s teen population.
