Redmond has fallen. Can confirm as I have a mole on the inside there.
Thanks Microsoft.
I don't normall defend Microsoft, but this isn't their fault. Redmond has a left wing nutjob Mayor and a fully woke city council. It's been getting bad there for the last 5 years or so. Their genius next move is they are secretly allowing a low income housing complex to be built right next to the new light trail station. This will become a highway of drug dealing and criminality. It was always going to be a hard sell to get Eastsiders out of their cars and onto public transportation. Conditions needed to be perfect to even have a chance of hitting 50% of their projected passengers. It's a given that light rail will be a total failure now on the Eastside.
Still amazes me that leftards want to force people on to unsafe public transportation. It's always force. If public transportation was safe, efficient and a cost and time saver there would be no need for the force. People would be clamoring to use it. It's almost like they don't really care about the public. One upon a time I rode Tri-Met from the burbs to downtown Portland. Bus stop was right by apartment complex and I worked downtown. A quick direct shot. After a couple of years I had lots of direct client conretact and had to travel to their offices and so I started driving to work. Had to show my monthly pass or pay the fare to the bus driver. No cheating allowed. Then the relatively efficient and then safe bus route got replaced by light rail. So now you wait once for your bus, which then goes to a central transit station where you wait for the light rail and added 20 minutes to the commute. You could drive to the transit station and then park. Today, these parking lots are just break in centrals for car thieves. Large percentage of riders don't pay and there is very little to no penalty if you get checked by a fare inspector.
This is also happening in NE Bellevue off of the 124th 520 exit. All those folks living in Bridle Trails and Pikes Peak are getting new neighbors!
Yep. All of that gets turbo charged with a 400 low income housing complex in Redmond. Thankfully I live in Sammamish where there is basically no public transportation to speak of and it’s basically unwalkable. That’s the only thing that will save us.
Microsoft brought thousands of foreigners to Redmond on HB1 visas. Those folks did well economically, spoiled their husbands, wives and kids with goodies and jewelry that's now made them a target of gypsy pigs and car-jackers. Hopefully that community will wise up, shit-can the Leftist Manka Dhingra and embrace the 2nd Amendment toot-sweet.
Microsoft brought us Kshama Sawant, too. Thanks again.
Manka is the state rep for the area. The mayor is Angela Birney, she's just as bad as Manka. Redmond's issue is King County related. Dow has offered incentives to cities in King County to help export his Seattle homeless problem to the suburbs. Redmond has eagerly helped with this request. Kirkland is going to be next. Dow's incentive offer will eventually become a mandate with no incentives and Bellevue will submit and offer up it's shittier areas.
Above all else, this is why we need an East King County to stop this shit. Stupid people like mello will say that isn't financially feasible while ignoring the 5 DEI headcount per department and County employees that's sole job is to bring library books to the homeless at $150k per FTE. They also have a Climate Change department now too with several FTE's above $200k.
Dow's a fucking Loser Dick POS. I hope he reads these boreds.
Guy thinks he's clever, cool & hip when in fact he's dumb as a post and dull as fuck. FTG
I’m telling you right now that parts of Bellevue are unrecognizable from 10 years ago.
It’s crazy. We have friends in Bridle Trails who want to move to Sammamish because their neighborhood has changed so much.
Microsoft basically imported an entire generation of foreign workers and N.E. Bellevue/Redmond has totally transformed in the span of a decade.
Immigration is fine. Uncontrolled, unplanned and uncoordinated immigration causes exactly what you describe, anywhere it happens.
In Seattle, they'll bitch and whine and call it "displacement" and "gentrification." They won't say those words on the Eastside, because that would be racist.
I’m pro-immigration.
MS needs skilled workers. India and China are producing them.
We are not. It’s as simple as that. But there is a community effect, whether you want to acknowledge it or not, and it shows up in the churches and schools.
Look at it this way. You probably grew up like I did with a lively neighborhood where kids all rode their bikes everywhere and most of the people in the neighborhood knew each other well and interacted socially at BBQs or little league games. That shit was the norm in the 80s and 90s. That’s what summer was.
Whatever it is now ain’t that.
Oh no, my friend. They are going to be living much closer to you than that. King County quietly bought the La Quinta in Kirkland right off Bellevue Way/Lk WA Blvd.

You sound bothered by the change and what caused it.
What's wrong with expressing disdain for your cult?
.
You should be happy your government ruined your neighborhood and way of life
Celebrate every culture but your own. You will be told what is acceptable. What's the worse that could happen?
Lebanon was the Paris of the Mid East and a majority Christian nation. Now its a shithole and the muslims killed off the christians in the 70s and 80s
Now we bring them here
And you'll like it racist
Yes, he should be bothered by the county and local cities secretly making deals behind the voters backs.
The mindless sheep bleating chaaaange
I feel like a Steve Kerr PLO PLO chant is appropriate here.
Oh we’re aware. A bunch of people in CH have been talking about private security patrol for awhile now. Folks in YP are already going that route at least that’s what I’d heard.
That property isn’t next door to Chinook/CH Elementary, but it isn’t exactly a day’s walk either. People are pissed.
looking forward to that BurgerMaster closing its doors within 2 years….
