Dicey weather conditions postponed our January planned Travel Talk. We now have a new date!

Public libraries have a lot in common with public transit, with both offering incalculable value to communities and lives. So I am thrilled that my first speaking event combines both. In collaboration with Move Redmond, I’ll be highlighting Redmond-adjacent transit treks as well as sharing ideas for some epic transit trekking adventures farther afield.

Join me on March 6 at the Redmond branch of the King County Library System from 6-7:30 p.m., with the option to attend remotely.

Register to attend here.

The library is located at NE 85th St & 160th Ave NE in Redmond.

Take Transit

Directly to the library: Sound Transit routes 542 and 545 and King County Metro routes 930 and Rapid Ride B stop right outside the library or across 160th, depending on which direction you are traveling.

Short walk to the library: Redmond Transit Center is about a 7-minute walk away and is served by all the above routes plus King County Metro routes 221, 224, 250.

Some schedule considerations:

• King County Metro route 930’s last departure from Redmond Transit Center is at 7:38 p.m., so you may want to plan to leave the event a few minutes early to make the bus.
• While King County Metro 224 serves Redmond Transit Center, its last departure is at 7 p.m., so you’ll want to plan accordingly.

Ride Your Bike or Roll

The library is very easy to reach via the Sammamish River Trail by leaving the main trail when you come up on Redmond City Hall — just head past city hall and keep an eye out for the library on the left right.
