Friends of Marymoor Park

Marymoor Park is the biggest active use park in the King County Parks system.
It is located in Redmond, at the north end of Lake Sammamish, hugging the Sammamish River.

The Friends of Marymoor Park is a group of park users and neighbors of Marymoor Park who meet regularly (fourth Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Art Barn northeast of Clise Mansion in the park)
to share information and help enhance and better utilize the facilities and programs within the park.

There are a tremendous number of activities going on at Marymoor Park, and several well-organized groups who offer programs and services within the park. See the Members and Events pages.

Night and weekend closures on SR 520 start March 4

If you’re a regular driver on SR 520 between Bellevue and Redmond, plan ahead for a WSDOT paving project that gets under way in March. Through August, expect to see traffic reduced to one or two lanes Sunday through Thursday nights. In June they’ll also close lanes on the weekends.

During the project, crews will repave SR 520 between I-405 and West Lake Sammamish Parkway. They will also rebuild the approaches to five concrete bridges in the area. The connections between the asphalt road and the bridges are deteriorating, causing a bumpy ride for drivers. Crews will replace the crumbling asphalt with new concrete slabs. When the project is complete, you’ll benefit from a smoother ride and a longer-lasting freeway.

Crews plan to start the bridge approach work next week. Weather permitting, they’ll work overnight on eastbound SR 520 over 130th Ave NE on Wednesday, March 4 and Thursday, March 5 from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Crews will also reduce eastbound SR 520 at 130th Ave NE to two lanes over the weekend, starting at 11 p.m. Friday, March 6. Lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday. If you’re traveling through the area, plan to allow extra time for your trip or choose an alternate route around the closure.
