Cat Zwicker, Redmond City Councilor

06/24/2026

After much reflection, I’ve decided that I will not be seeking reelection at the end of my current term on the Redmond City Council.
Serving this community has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I am deeply proud of the progress we have made together—from expanding housing options and safe parking to advancing childcare access, infrastructure, and long-term investments in Redmond’s future.
This decision comes from a place of honesty about my family, business, and personal responsibilities, and from a deep respect for what public service requires. I remain fully committed to serving through the end of my term and will continue to approach every decision with Redmond’s long-term well-being at the center.
Thank you to everyone who has trusted me, challenged me, worked beside me, and stayed engaged in the hard, important work of building a stronger community. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve Redmond.

Growing pains for sure. Please be patient and mindful of the crews in this area.

Multi-Phase Closure for SW Veterans Way Begins March 30

The City of Redmond will begin a multi phase closure of SW Veterans Way near SE 1st Street & SW Lake Road on March 30, 2026. The closure is needed to construct a new roundabout connecting SW Veterans Way, SE 1st Street, the newly aligned SE Airport Way and its northern extension to OR 126.

A temporary access road will be provided to maintain local access. Flaggers will be used to support traffic management during active construction. To reduce daytime disruptions, night work will take place May 11–22, 2026. Immediately before the roundabout opens to traffic, a full weekend closure will occur on June 6–7, 2026 to complete final paving and tie in work.

This project is part of the City’s Eastside Arterial Project and will improve long term traffic flow and connectivity on Redmond’s east side.

The roundabout is tentatively scheduled for completion in the fall of 2026.

Construction updates, detour information, and phase schedules will be shared as work progresses. For more information about the Eastside Arterial Project please visit the website at www.redmondoregon.gov/eastsidearterial.

I am grateful for our community members who stepped up to make these donations possible and the efforts of our Community Partner NeighborImpact! The need is still there so please keep helping these hardworking men and women as best you can!

When paychecks stop, the impact is immediate— our community steps up.

NeighborImpact provided more than $5,000 in gift cards to help local TSA officers and their families keep groceries on the table and everyday essentials within reach while pay remains disrupted.

At Redmond Municipal Airport, TSA officers continue reporting to work without pay due to a partial federal government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security. This disruption puts real pressure on basic needs like food, gas, and housing.

In response, RDMRedmondAirport is hosting a community donation drive, collecting nonperishable food, household essentials, and gift cards to support staff during this time. NeighborImpact contributed 70 gift cards valued at $75 each—one for every TSA employee affected.

NeighborImpact is grateful to Jersey Boys Pizzeria for hosting a fundraiser day in support of this effort, and to the community members who made targeted gifts to help purchase the gift cards. We’re proud to stand with our neighbors and support the people who keep our community moving. Jersey Boys Pizzeria

A Holiday Message and Grace for the Past Year~

This year has been a lesson in grace — the kind we give, the kind we receive, and the kind we learn to extend to ourselves. Between the demands of public service, the constant motion of business, and the quiet, sacred responsibility of caring for family, especially my mom, I’ve been reminded again and again that strength doesn’t always look like momentum. Sometimes it looks like patience, presence, and choosing to keep showing up.

In politics, this year asked for resilience and clarity. It pushed me to listen more deeply, speak more intentionally, and stay rooted in the values that brought me into public service in the first place: community, accountability, and the belief that we can build something better together.

In business, it was a year of adapting, refining, and finding opportunity in unexpected places. I’m grateful for the clients, colleagues, and partners who trusted me to help them navigate complexity with honesty and creativity.

And at home, caring for my mom has been both grounding and humbling. It’s a reminder that the most important work we do is often the quietest — the kind that doesn’t show up in headlines or reports, but shapes who we are.

As we look toward the coming year, I’m carrying forward gratitude for the people who have walked alongside me, challenged me, supported me, and believed in the work. I’m hopeful for a year of deeper connection, clearer purpose, and continued service — in community, in business, and in family.

Wishing you a season filled with warmth, rest, and the kind of peace that lasts long after the holidays end. Here’s to grace behind us, hope ahead of us, and the good we’ll build together in the year to come.

I am deeply saddened this week by the passing of my friend, Victoria Mccurry Heaven has gained an extraordinary soul, but here on earth we will feel the absence of her gift for advocacy, and the clarity and conviction she brought to every table.
Victoria’s support was never just encouragement—it was a steady hand, a voice of reason, and a constant reminder that purpose and integrity must guide each step we take. Her presence shaped my journey in profound ways, and I know that I, along with the many others she inspired, will strive to honor her by living with the same focus, compassion, and strength she embodied every day.
My heart goes out to her family, who were her light and her greatest loves. May they find comfort in knowing that her legacy continues in all of us who were touched by her wisdom and grace.
