| Redmond has evolved into a thriving center of business and community life, while retaining the flavor of its rural past. One of the fastest-growing cities in the state, Redmond is home to several nationally and internationally recognized companies, including Microsoft, Nintendo, Eddie Bauer and AT&T Wireless.
Located on the northern end of Lake Sammamish, the area enjoys forested hills and lake and mountain views in its quiet neighborhoods. Schools fall within the Lake Washington School District, and feature strong academics and athletics. More people work in Redmond than live here, as high-tech companies attract workers from all over the Greater Seattle area. Redmond has a variety of housing options. The number of single-family homes nearly equals the number of multi-family units.
Redmond Town Center Mall, located downtown near the end of Highway 520, offers many shopping and dining conveniences. The neighborhood southwest of downtown, including Overlake where Microsoft is located and the Willows Road high-tech corridor, host increasing commercial development.
