Crossroads of retail, tech and nature in King County
Set on the banks of the Sammamish River, Downtown Redmond is at the crossroads of a booming tech industry, a thriving shopping district and ample green spaces. "It's modern and peaceful. You might even call it idyllic," says Alex Fotouhi, the principal broker and founder of Stoop & Gable Homes. "It's very lush and green, but you can get a coffee, take your kid to the park and access Downtown Seattle."
Predating suburban development, Downtown Redmond has evolved into a hub of activity. "If you come downtown on a nice afternoon, you'll see people," says Jeff Churchill, long-range planning manager for the City of Redmond. "It has become popular for people to walk and hang out and has a nice vibe."

A mini–Silicon Valley, Redmond is in proximity to some of the state's biggest companies. "There are so many great job opportunities at big companies," Fotouhi says. "In the last 20 years, the area has developed rapidly. So many young professionals have poured in."
It's just a few miles to the Microsoft Headquarters, which has spent multimillions on a campus upgrade for its employees, who number about 47,000. Though most Microsoft amenities are only accessible to people who work there, some that have been completed and are open to the public are green spaces and trails.

The trail links up with 640-acre Marymoor Park, which includes athletic fields, a community garden, a climbing wall, a 400-meter bicycle racing track and a 42-acre off-leash dog park. "Pacific Northwest homeowners love their dogs. There are more dogs than kids in our area," Fotouhi says.
