Pandemic Response

Home / Pandemic Response

Redmond was one of the first communities in the nation to be hit by the COVID-19 Pandemic. I am incredibly proud of how we all came together to meet this challenge.

  • Kept Community Safe – worked with partners to host testing and vaccination clinics with one of the highest vaccination rates in the county.
  • Help our Most Vulnerable Stay Fed and Housed – leveraged our partnerships and federal dollars to help those in need.
  • City Open for Business – pivoted city services to virtual.
  • Aided Struggling Businesses – funded support for our struggling businesses to help them keep their doors open.
  • Supported Local Economy – used innovative approaches to support our economy, like opening some sidewalks for outdoor dining.
  • Applied Innovation to Redmond 2050 Plan – applied some innovative techniques to this plan to get it started during the pandemic. We took the outreach to you – either online, when in person wasn’t an option, and then to park and community events to meet people where they were.
