• 0:01
  Jennifer Davis: Welcome to The Best of Redmond.
• 0:03
  Jennifer Davis: I'm Jennifer Davis
• 0:05
  Dan Schulz: And I'm Dan Schultz, and this is Redmond's twice weekly newsletter and podcast about all of the amazing things happening right here in and around Redmond for the next seven days.
• 0:16
  Dan Schulz: And we're gonna start out this episode by putting the squeeze on you.
• 0:22
  Dan Schulz: Squeeze, the legendary '80s band, is playing Marymoor live on Friday, September 11th with Adam Ant and Haircut 100.
• 0:32
  Dan Schulz: That's a pretty serious lineup if you grew up with this type of music or you discovered it later.
• 0:37
  Dan Schulz: Three recognizable names on one bill right here in Redmond.
• 0:41
  Dan Schulz: Check Marymoor Live for ticket and arrival details before you head out, especially if you're driving.
• 0:47
  Dan Schulz: If you know someone who still has a favorite Squeeze song, this is probably the event to send them

  Jennifer Davis: On Friday, September 11th from 2:00 to 3:30, the Redmond Library is hosting Mushroom Foraging Basics by Forage Seattle.
• 1:04
  Jennifer Davis: There'll be real mushroom samples, a presentation, and time for questions.
• 1:10
  Jennifer Davis: This event is suited for age 10 and up.
• 1:13
  Jennifer Davis: Bring your questions, not a mystery mushroom from your backyard.
• 1:17
  Dan Schulz: Or from that secret box on top of the refrigerator, if you know what I mean.
• 1:22
  Dan Schulz: I suspect a lot of people are gonna show up with their mushrooms and then head on over to see Squeeze
• 1:30
  Jennifer Davis: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense
• 1:34
  Dan Schulz: Hero Play Day is happening on Saturday, September 12th, starting at 10:00 AM at Kiddie Academy of Redmond.
• 1:41
  Dan Schulz: It's a free hands-on event for kids built around community helpers, imaginative play, creativity, and teamwork.
• 1:48
  Dan Schulz: So if you've got a kid who likes pretending to be a firefighter, police officer, doctor, or basically anyone with a cool uniform, podcaster, they'll probably have a good time right here.
• 2:00
  Dan Schulz: Registration is required, so grab a spot ahead of time rather than assuming you can just walk in.
• 2:08
  Jennifer Davis: Pickles Playland is celebrating Pickles' birthday Wednesday, September 9th from 11:00 to 2:00.
• 2:15
  Jennifer Davis: The party is at Pickles Playland, and it's an easy one for dogs who already spend time there to join.
• 2:21
  Jennifer Davis: One important detail is Pickles Playland is a 21 plus facility, so this is a dog event, not a kids and dog event.
• 2:30
  Jennifer Davis: So if your pup is regular, check the event details and make plans to let them celebrate their buddy Pickles.
• 2:39
  Dan Schulz: The Redmond Library is hosting a welcoming week celebration of dance on Sunday, September 13th from 2:00 to 3:30 PM.
• 2:47
  Dan Schulz: The program combines Indian Odissi dance and Ugandan traditional dance with music, storytelling, and an interactive workshop.
• 2:57
  Dan Schulz: It's happening at the Redmond Library, and it's open to all ages.
• 3:01
  Dan Schulz: You don't need to know anything about either style before you go.
• 3:04
  Dan Schulz: Just show up, watch the performances, and stick around for the interactive part if you wanna give it a try.
• 3:12
  Jennifer Davis: Flatstick Pub is doing Study Hall on Thursday, September 10th from 7:00 to 11:00.
• 3:19
  Jennifer Davis: Anyone with a valid school ID can play games for free, including teachers and faculty.
• 3:25
  Jennifer Davis: So yes, it's technically called Study Hall, but nobody said you actually have to study.
• 3:31
  Jennifer Davis: Bring your school ID and a couple of people who are willing to play.
• 3:35
  Jennifer Davis: It's a pretty simple Thursday night plan if you want games without having to make a whole production out of it
• 3:43
  Dan Schulz: Here's something most homeowners don't think about.
• 3:46
  Dan Schulz: You could have a water leak right now and not even know it.
• 3:50
  Dan Schulz: Underground leaks don't show up like a burst pipe.
• 3:53
  Dan Schulz: There's no water on the floor.
• 3:54
  Dan Schulz: Your water bill just starts quietly creeping up month after month until one day you're paying double and you're wondering what happened.
• 4:02
  Dan Schulz: Simply Leak Detection finds those leaks without tearing up your yard.
• 4:07
  Dan Schulz: They use non-invasive tech to pinpoint exactly where the problem is.
• 4:12
  Dan Schulz: With over three hundred five-star reviews on Google, they cover the whole East Side, Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue, all of it.
• 4:20
  Dan Schulz: If your water bill's been climbing or your meter's been spinning when nothing is running, give Lincoln and his team a call or visit them at simplyleakdetection.biz.
• 4:31
  Dan Schulz: This message brought to you by Simply Leak Detection.
• 4:36
  Jennifer Davis: Brick and Mortar Books has its sci-fi/fantasy book club on Wednesday, September ninth at six thirty.
• 4:44
  Jennifer Davis: This month's book is Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
• 4:48
  Jennifer Davis: So if you've already read it, this is your chance to argue about it with other people who actually finished the book like you did.
• 4:56
  Jennifer Davis: If you haven't read it yet, there's still time to pick it up.
• 4:59
  Jennifer Davis: Brick Mortar Books hosts the discussion at its Redmond location, so check with the store for any last-minute event details before heading over
• 5:10
  Dan Schulz: Let's do some bicycle bling.
• 5:12
  Dan Schulz: If you want to see more of the new bike infrastructure around Bel Red Road without having to figure out a route yourself, Move Redmond's free Bel Red Bike Policy Ride leaves Thursday, September 10th at 5:30 PM from Dote
• 5:27
  Dan Schulz: Coffee at Redmond Technology Station.
• 5:31
  Dan Schulz: It's a relaxed no-drop ride covering about 4.3 miles, and the group finishes at Kumara Yamini Coffee for dessert and a discussion.
• 5:40
  Dan Schulz: Bring your bike, helmet, and water.
• 5:43
  Dan Schulz: And since it's a no-drop, you don't have to be the fastest rider in Redmond to join in.
• 5:50
  Jennifer Davis: Okay, it's time for Redmond History Minute, where we share an interesting piece of history, trivia, or tidbit about life in and around Redmond.
• 6:01
  Jennifer Davis: So Dan, and people at home who are listening and playing along, how did the Campbell Lumber Mill move its employee bunkhouses deeper into the woods as logging operations moved deeper and deeper into the forest?
• 6:16
  Jennifer Davis: Did they, A, load the bunkhouses onto wagons; B, build them on railroad car frames; C, did they float them across Lake Sammamish; or D, did they rebuild them at every new camp?
• 6:33
  Jennifer Davis: And your time starts now
• 6:36
  Dan Schulz: Oh my God, this is so hard.
• 6:38
  Dan Schulz: They all sound like they could totally happen.
• 6:41
  Dan Schulz: I am going to say that they floated them across Lake Sammamish because that would be the coolest thing to do.
• 6:51
  Dan Schulz: Final answer.
• 6:52
  Dan Schulz: Yeah.
• 6:52
  Dan Schulz: Yeah
• 6:56
  Jennifer Davis: Well, close but not correct
• 7:00
  Dan Schulz: them with their, uh, across a different body of water?
• 7:02
  Dan Schulz: What happened?
• 7:03
  Dan Schulz: How did
• 7:03
  Jennifer Davis: They didn't float them.
• 7:04
  Jennifer Davis: They did move them though.
• 7:06
  Jennifer Davis: They built them on railroad car frames.
• 7:09
  Jennifer Davis: The Campbell Lumber Mill opened in 1905 near the northeast corner of Lake Sammamish and built 16 miles of railroad track into the woods.
• 7:20
  Jennifer Davis: The company built its employee bunk houses on railroad car frames so that they could just simply move them as the logging operation moved deeper and deeper into the timber.
• 7:30
  Jennifer Davis: Sadly, the mill burned down in 1924, and they never rebuilt it
• 7:47
  Dan Schulz: Okay, here's a rumor we've been hearing about, although again, it's a rumor and nothing's been confirmed yet.
• 7:53
  Dan Schulz: Could Redmond eventually get a Trailhead clubhouse, Trailhead clubhouse built around the idea of combining a cafe, bike storage, quick bike repairs, rentals, and family activities all in one place?
• 8:10
  Dan Schulz: The idea would be somewhere near downtown Redmond Station, Marymoor Village, or Sammamish River Trail rather than taking up prime Redmond Town Center real estate.
• 8:20
  Dan Schulz: The proposed concept would include a secure bike and e-bike storage, grab-and-go food, adventure gear rentals, quick bike services, and small events for families, teens, and parents.
• 8:32
  Dan Schulz: So the question is, would you use a place like this in Redmond?
• 8:36
