Our Newsletter

Updates, stories, and connections with the Society and region.

The Redmond Recorder News was once the name of Redmond's local newspaper. It was later replaced by the Sammamish Valley News, which is now out of print. The Redmond Historical Society has since adopted The Redmond Recorder as the name for our newsletter. 

Our newsletter archives go back to the first newsletter published in May of 1999, and is regularly updated to contain the latest issue!
