stablished in 1987, REDI is
a private, nonprofit corpo-
ration built on partnerships
between private business and the
public sector to encourage economic
development in Redmond. In simple
terms, we are a catalyst for econom-
ic growth in Redmond, and we’re
made of focused individuals that
strive to keep our community vibrant
and strong.
We’re all about relationships
REDI is made of people with a
vision for a prosperous life for all.
We believe at the core of a commu-
nity’s success are connections and
relationships of the people who live,
work and play here. Without partner-
ships and collaboration, a commu-

town, a city, or dot on a map.
