About this episode
Welcome to Best of Redmond! Redmond's twice-weekly newsletter and podcast about all the amazing things happening inRedmond for the next seven days!š° The Case of the Missing CrowsOkay, so something weird has been going on⦠the massive flock of crows that used to take over UW Bothell every night has completely vanished. For the first time in years, the wetlands are quiet, and nobody really knew where they went. Then people started spotting huge groups flying the wrong direction at dusk. Turns out, the āmurderā didnāt disappear⦠it relocated. Thousands of crows are now roosting near Sixty Acres Park and Sammamish Valley in Redmond. If you want to see it for yourself, head toward Willows Road around sunset⦠itās loud.š§ Trivia Night at SoulFood CoffeeHouseTrivia Night is happening Wednesday, March 25 at 6:00 pm at SoulFood CoffeeHouse on Redmond Way. This monthās theme is all about movies, so expect everything from Oscars to random film facts. Itās free to play, all ages are welcome, and the vibe is pretty relaxed whether youāre competitive or just there for fun. Seating fills up fast, so showing up early helps if you want a table.š Line Dancing at the Community CenterLine Dancing with Evamarie is happening Tuesday, March 24 starting at 5:00 pm at the Redmond Senior & Community Center. Thereās a beginner class first, then a slightly more advanced group after that, and itās all set up to be easy to follow. They rotate through different music styles, so itās not just country. If youāve ever thought about trying it, this is a low-pressure way to jump in.š Stand-Up Comedy at SamÄ CellarsStand-up comedy is happening Friday, March 27 with doors at 6:30 pm and the show starting at 7:00 pm at SamÄ Cellars.

Grab tickets ahead of time since these tend to sell out.š Author Event at Brick & Mortar BooksA live author event is happening Friday, March 27 at 6:30 pm at Brick & Mortar Books in Redmond Town Center. Lish McBride is launching her new YA thriller and will be in conversation with Marissa Meyer, whoās a #1 New York Times bestselling author.
