When Redmond updated its
Comprehensive Plan in 2004, the community took the opportunity
to look at what its housing needs would be over 20 years. As
citizens are aware, Redmond’s employment base has grown
significantly since the mid-1990s, from 47,000 is 1995 to nearly
82,000 in 2006! Not surprisingly, the housing market also took-off
to provide new homes to respond to that growth.
At the same time, the community made clear that it values
encouraging the provision of a variety of housing choices for people
of a variety of ages and incomes. The City has adopted policies in
the
Housing Element of its Comprehensive Plan that speak directly to
those values, and has set in motion a number of initiatives
consistent with them.
The table below summarizes Redmond’s residential growth since 2002.

affordability, and how the City partners with other housing-focused
