T he Redmond City Council took its first steps to establish time, place and manner restrictions for people camping on public property during its regular meeting Feb. 14. About 250 people are experiencing homelessness in Redmond, according to preliminary data from the Point in Time Count. That's nearly double the 127 reported in 2022 — though that number may have been undercounted due to a COVID outbreak among service providers at the time.
