History
The Old Redmond Schoolhouse was the City’s community center between 2000-2017, through a previous inter-local agreement with LWSD. In May of 2016, the City received notice that the lease was set to expire in 2018, and LWSD worked with the City to transition services and activities out of the building. In 2017, City Council authorized the Mayor to sign an agreement with Lake Washington Institute of Technology to lease their 20,000 square feet Redmond Campus building, which is now referred to as the Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village. The City relocated most activities and services to this facility and other community centers, but space limitations and lack of gymnasium space resulted in the loss of some programs and local partnerships.
