Chris,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and passion about the Old Firehouse Teen Center. We understand how much the space has meant to you and so many others, and we truly appreciate the sense of community it has fostered over the years.

The decision to relocate teen programs is not one that was made lightly. After comprehensive facility assessments, it became clear that the building, while having served us well for 73 years, is facing significant long-term challenges beyond routine maintenance. This relocation is a proactive step to ensure that teen services continue without interruption, while we explore options for the future of the building.

We recognize the importance of music and self-expression in our community, especially as a central hub for youth in Redmond and the surrounding areas. As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting live music, we have relocated all scheduled live music shows to other suitable venues within the City of Redmond. We are dedicated to ensuring these opportunities for youth and the community continue to thrive.

Please know that no decisions have been made yet regarding the Old Firehouse building. That will be determined through a public process with the City Council, and we encourage your continued involvement in the conversation during upcoming opportunities for public comment. Your voice is an important part of this process, and we are committed to finding a solution that best serves the community's needs.  You can learn more about the engagement process at: Redmond.gov/teenservices <https://www.redmond.gov/2262/Teen-Services> .

Thank you again for sharing your perspective. We value your input as we move forward.
