Redmond’s Rich Heritage and Your Home’s Plumbing
Back in the late 1800s, Redmond was all axes and sawdust. Seriously, if it had bark, it was getting chopped. Logging was the name of the game, and the Sammamish Slough was the highway. Boats loaded with timber floated all the way to Seattle. That’s the Redmond of old; gritty, hands-on, no stranger to a hard day’s work.
From modest beginnings, Arlington experienced relatively high population growth in the late 1960s due to the completion of Interstate 5 and State Route 9—drawing many residents who commuted to Seattle and Everett for work.
Fast forward a bit—yeah, we hit some rough patches. The Great Depression knocked the wind out of our sails. Mills closed. Families packed up. Some folks moved out. But Redmond? She’s a fighter. When the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge came along in ’63, we opened up to the world, and Seattle commuters took notice. Suddenly, Redmond wasn’t just a logging town, it was the place to live, to grow, and to build something new.
And then came the tech boom. Microsoft rolled in, Nintendo unpacked, and before we knew it, Redmond had one foot in the future but still kept its heart rooted in the community. You’ve got quiet neighborhoods tucked behind century-old trees, Friday night lights at Hartman Park, and that stubborn sense of pride only locals get.
So when we say we understand Redmond homes, we mean it. We’ve worked in the original ramblers near Education Hill, those mid-century builds off Avondale, and the shiny new developments popping up near Downtown Park. Every home tells a story. And every era? A new plumbing challenge.
Whether your pipes date back to the flannel-wearing logging days or your tankless water heater has more buttons than your car, we know what we’re doing. Because like Redmond, we don’t just show up, we show up ready.
You take pride in where you live. So do we. Let’s keep your home running smooth, the Redmond way.
