Good Afternoon, 

I received your service request regarding the Teen Center and how relocating teen services could impact families and teens, and wanted to follow up. The decision to relocate teen services programming from the Old Firehouse Teen Center (OFH) was made proactively due to the building's age (73 years) and substantial long-term challenges beyond routine maintenance. While the building remains safe for occupancy thanks to our maintenance protocols, this move allows us to ensure ongoing safety without requiring increasingly demanding resources.

Mayor Birney along with our Parks and Recreation Director, Loreen Hamilton met with teens, including our Redmond Youth Partnership Advisory Committee on Monday, March 10 and gave those in attendance an update on this process.

We are launching a comprehensive engagement process to understand what teens need, how we can best serve their interests, and where services are most needed at the end of March. You can find more information regarding the relocation of services to the Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village (in addition to other city facilities) at www.redmond.gov/TeenServices <http://www.redmond.gov/TeenServices>  with an online questionnaire that will be available on March 31.

City Council will begin discussions about OFH this spring, which will include opportunities for public comment. 

Our commitment remains providing quality, accessible programs that support teen development, create meaningful connections, and respond to the evolving needs of Redmond's youth.

Best,

 

 

Zach Houvener (he/him/his)
