Sustainability Exhibits on Display at City Hall

A variety of exhibits showing ways residents and businesses can bring sustainability into their everyday lives will be displayed in the main lobby of Redmond City Hall, 15670 NE 85th Street, from Friday, October 5 through Friday October 12 during regular business hours 7am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

“Redmond is a very livable community and we want it to stay that way,” says Mayor Rosemarie Ives. “Local decisions matter, so starting with the City and what its employees can do towards sustainability, both individually and collectively, is an important next step.”

The exhibits also highlight some of the things the City is doing to help create a more sustainable Redmond, including purchasing hybrid and bio-diesel capable vehicles, encouraging employees to use methods other than the single occupant vehicle to get to work and building City Hall with methods and materials that support sustainability.

For more information regarding Sustainable Redmond and the City’s efforts, contact Jon Spangler, Natural Resources Manager at jspangler@redmond.gov or 425-556-2823.
