Outreach Methods: public meetings, email, city newsletters, city website, lunch briefings with seniors, postcard mailers, social media posts, press releases, online surveys, results-gathered by online surveys, paper surveys, monthly Encore updates to seniors, and comment cards

                     Feedback Summary:

Feedback included items such as build a larger facility than what formerly existed at the Senior Center, with the understanding that Redmond’s existing recreation spaces are already underserving its senior population, as well as other demographic groups. Future growth is expected and needs to be addressed by considering future demand and trends that keep our community healthy, active, and connected across neighborhoods, ages and cultures.
