About this episode

This episode covers local events in Redmond, including a duckling rescue, a litter pickup party, and a crafting session at the library.

Welcome to Best of Redmond! Redmond's twice-weekly newsletter and podcast about all the amazing things happening in Redmond for the next seven days! 📰 ‘Quack-tical Rescue’ in Redmond Storm Drain So this happened on Sunday, April 12… Redmond police pulled off a full-on duckling rescue after five little guys fell into a storm drain. Officers carefully lifted each duckling out while mom waited nearby, and yeah, they actually got all five back to her safely. No injuries, no drama, no tickets issued… just a very patient duck watching the whole thing go down. Honestly feels like something you’d see at the end of a news broadcast. If you need a quick win for humanity this week, this is it. ☕ Walk & Talk Litter Pickup Party This is happening Sunday, April 19 at 11:00 AM at SoulFood Coffee House, and it’s exactly what it sounds like… coffee plus cleaning up the city. You show up, grab a free 16oz drip coffee or tea, then head out with a group to walk around Redmond picking up litter. They provide trash bags, you bring gloves if you’ve got them. It runs until about 3:00 PM, but you don’t have to stay the whole time. Easy way to meet people and do something useful without it feeling…
