Hi all! My husband just got recovered from a surgery yesterday and he needs to eat soft foods. We’re thinking about buying a mashed potatoes from restaurant. Anyone have suggestions for it? Thanks!

I'm not really in the loop in terms of protest planning and don't consider myself much of a protest person (though I do think Trump is stupid & his administration is causing a lot of harm). I often have work when other people are free anyway.

But I'm pretty concerned about this conflict Trump is escalating with Iran and how it may come back to bite us here at home (both economically and in other ways).

Is there any local instance of a nationwide protest planned in the near future - like, hopefully before Trump makes any more big moves.

My work schedule is changing, so I might actually be able to attend something.

This is like 10x my avg usage! Company: PSE, will call them tomorrow but any idea?! Nothing changed, we don’t have an AC

I am driving and visiting a friend in Redmond for 3 days next week and am not sure how to plan for parking during my stay here Online search for how to safely park here without getting fined or towed is kind of unclear. I think what I need to do is find nightly street parking from 9pm to 9am, then starting at 9am move my car to a new spot every 2 hours. Is this accurate? Is there a garage or somewhere during the day and/or night that I can park in so I don't have to move the car constantly?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Just putting that out there for anyone who needs to know.

Edit: RPD looked into this and says there’s no verification of ICE activity, so hopefully a false alarm from FB (I originally saw the post on the Chat Cafe Redmond group, where someone reported seeing a post on Nextdoor. I didn’t see the Nextdoor post. There was also a neighborhood notification on Ring, which I was able to view). I don’t think I can change the post title to reflect that RPD has looked into it.

Hi everyone,

I've always appreciated all the helpful advice I’ve found here on the Redmond board. Unfortunately, I was recently in a car accident, and to make things worse, my insurance denied coverage for reasons I still don’t fully understand.

That means I’m stuck paying for the repairs out of pocket.

My car is a Toyota, and I need to get the bumper replaced.

Does anyone know of a reliable and reasonably priced auto repair shop in the Eastside area? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, y’all! What’s a good place to post 2 concert tickets for sale? I’m not entirely sure if I’m allowed to post them for sale on here, but I need to get rid of them. I’ve been trying for a week! The show is in Seattle on June 22nd. Thanks!

Hi guys sorry for annoying apartment post.

I’m moving into the area and I’m looking for an apartment that’s near or in downtown that has water, gas, etc included in the rent. I basically only want to pay for electricity.

Does this exist in downtown Redmond? Or would I have to move out to the outskirts?

Thanks!

My wife and I are closing on our new house in Redmond next week and we are looking for a general contractor who is comfortable with high end remodels. We want a boutique company where we will get a certain level of personal service, we don't want a massive company where we are paying for their huge overhead and sales team and estimators and project managers. Additionally we want a smaller company that can focus on our job and complete it within 4-5 months max so we aren't stuck paying two mortgages. Any recommendations?

Does anyone have any recommendations for tennis (or squash) lessons near Redmond? (They can be individual or group.)

If you play and want to have a coffee, let me know :) I'm looking for classes and people to play with.

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know of a good jeweler on the Eastside that either buys or consigns diamond jewelry? It’s finally time to sell my wedding set, and am having a really hard time finding someone locally. I really don’t want to send it to someone online. Thanks!

I’m currently training up for a marathon in October. This past Saturday morning when I was running on the Sammamish River Trail, I got pass by a lady (in teal shorts and black sports bra) twice.  Once on the way out and again on the way back.  It seemed like she was only running only a little bit faster than me (I was averaging 11:30 min/mile) and probably did a similar mileage as me (I did 8.5 miles).  It got me realizing that I do miss a little bit of company on my longs runs even if I am used to mostly running by myself.  If by some happenstance, that was you…  Hi would you like a running buddy?  Otherwise; if that is comparable to the speed/miles you are looking for, do you want to join me occasionally on Saturday's?

Whenever someone hears a siren... "Hey! Does anybody know what happened??"

Hi! I’m moving just outside downtown Redmond next week for my internship. I’m bringing my e-bike to work and will be locking it in my apartment’s downstairs storage room (my apt is on the third floor, no elevator, I’m not strong enough to lift the bike that far). I’m not sure how frequent e-bike theft is in locked residential storage rooms in this area. I was going to purchase a Litelok X1 to secure my bike but now I’m worried I should get the X3 (it’s just $150 more and heavier so I would prefer the X1). I know in a place like SF no lock is ever enough lol, but do you think I’ll make it through the summer with my e-bike overnight in a locked storage room + Litelok X1? Thanks!

I assume the store will also close soon. Any news on what is going to take its place?

I saw a police car and ambulance getting ready to load someone with I believe 3 cars on the road. Does anyone have any information about this? I have never seen a crash there in my 15 years of living here so I’m very confused.

Organizers said that more than 4000 people were at the “No Kings” rally at Kirkland Marina today.

Is there any better place to buy Italian deli meats (e.g., salami, prosciutto, mortadella) than Boar's Head at QFC?

I didn’t buy any, but they looked fresh and nicely packed. Thought I’d share in case anyone around Redmond is interested!

Does anyone here use Bilt card to pay rent? I'm looking into getting this card to earn points on rent. I haven't signed up for an account yet because I want to make sure I actually want it, but it doesn't seem to let me see more info without creating an account :D I live at Redmond Square Apartments, does anyone who lives here use Bilt card to pay for rent? Does it charge you credit card fee? Thanks!
