THE COMMUNITY OF REDMOND
In the heart of the Sammamish Valley, Orchard Hill holds a special place in the history of the Pacific Northwest. From the early days of salmon fishing and lumber to the thriving tech industry of today, this area has been a source of fortune and opportunity for its residents. Located on land that has sustained generations, Orchard Hill connects the pioneering spirit of Redmond’s past with the vibrant innovation of its present.
The McRedmond Legacy
In 1850, Irish immigrants Luke and Kate McRedmond left the hardships of the Potato Famine behind, embarking on a journey that would shape the future of Redmond. Settling along the Snoqualmie River, they established an inn that served as a hub for pioneers and travelers. Luke’s roads and Kate’s hospitality created a crossroads of commerce and culture, with their town becoming a beacon of opportunity for immigrants from across the globe. By the time Luke renamed the town “Redmond” as its postmaster in 1882, the community thrived with bustling businesses, multilingual diversity, and an enduring spirit of inclusion. On a scenic ridge they called Orchard Hill, the McRedmonds raised their family, planted the town’s first apple orchard, and laid the foundation for the Redmond we know today.
Redmond’s Modern Renaissance
