Teen Services Transition
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Teen programs currently housed at the Old Fire House Teen Center are transitioning to the Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village and other City facilities. This transition will be complete by the end of April. This follows comprehensive facility assessments of the building that has served the community for 73 years. This proactive relocation will allow the City to ensure continuous teen services while the community considers options for the building’s future.
