Its complicated but fascinating
a family history that Andy Weiss
will share with us at our general
meeting on Saturday, March 9.
The characters include Lester
Johnson, his great uncle who won
the Bull of the Woods logging title
in 1929; and his great granddad
Heinrich Weiss, who was on
Redmonds rst City Council.
Weiss arrived in 1888 from Suhl,
Bavaria (then a kingdom and nowpart of Germany) after walking
away from army duty. Legend has
it he threw his rie in a latrine and
headed to Redmond to nd his
uncle Friedrich Weiss, who came
here in about 1872, says Andy.
I hope to go beyond a boringchronology of the family, he
adds, and bring to life what was
happening in Redmond and the
local culture during their lives.

This bunker sits next to the clubhouse at The Meadows, a subdivision located between State Route 520 and the end of156th. (Photo by Miguel Llanos.)
Word of a bunker at The Meadows, a Redmond subdivision built
in the 1970s, inspired us to do some gurative digging around. Retired
Police Lieutenant Jim Taylorrecalls visiting the property on his rst day
on the job in 1971and being told it was the summer estate of former
Governor Albert Rosellini. The local police even held a key to keep an eye
on the gated grounds.A search of property records establishes an E.E. Spaulding as the
longtime owner of Redwood Manorcomplete with a pool, tennis court
and 40-foot putting greenduring the time before the property was sold
for the subdivision. Moreover, several newspaper photos from the 1950s
show the couple hosting charity events at the property. So, weve still got
some mysteries to solve:
Were the Spauldings well known and active in Redmond? Did Governor Rosellini later buy or borrow the property?
Who built the bunker and why? Was it fear of Soviet bombing?

If you can help solve any of these mysteries, please contact Miguel
Llanos at [email protected] or425.802.3806.

on eDucaTion hill
Redmonds Education Hill was once known as Poverty Hill (since it was
the last neighborhood to get water and power!) and before that it was a thick
foresall ocurred in the the last 100 years. Below we share images of that
transition we use in a new display panel on our logging and farming heritage.
Funded by 4Culture, the panel and four others in a Centennial series will be
used with exhibits around town over time. 3
166th Avenue N.E. (left) was once just
a dirt hill used to slide logged treesdownthe true denition of a skid
road! William Perrigo owned all the
land on the hill. Some of his loggers
are pictured here (above). The two
women (center right) are his daughters
Mable and Nellie Perrigo, who cooked
for the team. (Photo above from the
Perrigo family collection. Photo at left

Judith Simpson I have lived in Redmond since 1974 (and only one stoplight!)
First on Education Hill close to the schools and Little League eld. While my three
sons were growing up, I was involved with their activitiesScouts, PTA, etc. I
have continued to be involved in the community, serving on various boards and
commissions. In 1986, my husband and I purchased an acre that was part of the
75 acre Sanders Farm on the Redmond-Woodinville Road and had a home built
there. I enjoy sharing information with other members of the community and helping
them nd places to be involved. As a member of Evergreen Healthcare Community
Advisors, Friends of Emerald Heights, and volunteer with Redmond Police
Department I have a good cross section of the community and available information.
I look forward to continuing these activities with the Redmond Historical Society.
Kris SwansonIm a native Washingtonian and UW grad. I moved to Redmond
(Spiritbrook) 39 years ago and have lived here long enough to have enjoyed boat
races on the slough. We were a growing community and in need of parks. I servedon the park board for seven years. In that time we developed several parks and I
was very involved with a bond issue that resulted in funding for the Public Safety
Building, Senior Center and more park land. With fellow Redmondites I fought
the proposal for a shopping center on current Microsoft property. I am now using
the Senior Center I helped acquire years ago. Retired now, I am still in love with
Redmond and am proud of my town and our wonderful Senior Center. I am looking
forward to helping the Redmond Historical Society grow and prosper.

Addie Kindrick, a Redmond restaurant legend, passed away on February 2,
2013, at the age of 99. My guess is that everyone living in and around Redmond
from the 40s, 50s and early 60s had a bite to eat in one of Addies cafs, says
Judy Aries Lang. Good cook, good food and a sweetheart of a gal.
Addie saw tragedies early on in life. Her father died when she was ve. All
ve of her siblings died before their prime. Her husband Floyd Kindrick lost an
arm in a rail accident also, but Addie persevered. She and Floyd moved from
Eastern Washington to Redmond in 1937 when they purchased 2.5 acres of land
on the Old Redmond Road.
In 1942, Addie bought
a cheese shop on Leary
Way that she had been
managing, and turned
it into the Addi-Bon. For
the next 13 years, she
got up at 4:00 a.m. every
morning except Sunday,
and worked until 7:00 p.m.
as cook and pie-maker.
In 1955, she soldthe Addi-Bon and bought the Redmond Hotel Caf on Leary Way. She sold the
caf in 1961, and the retired Kindricks traveled until Addie got restless and bought
a hamburger place at East Lake Sammamish Parkway and Redmond-Fall City
Road. That became Adis Caf, which the Kindricks ran until 1968 when Addie
suffered a major stroke and could no longer work. Floyd passed away in 1974.

English and history teacher to hundreds of children at Redmond Junior
High, Paul Bark passed away on January 18, 2013, at the age of 91. He was
my ninth grade homeroom teacher and tennis coach, recalls Judy Aries Lang.
Adds Society President Chris Himes: Most of my children had Paul as a
teacher. He was a vital member of the Redmond community and will be missed.
A public memorial service will be held on Wednesday, April 20, 2013, from 12:00
noon to 3:00 p.m. at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Auditorium.

Eric Erickson, the regions foremost logging historian, donated a framed map of
the Campbell Mill and the tracts logged to feed the site on the eastside of Lake

Historian Tom Hitzrothand City of Redmond PlannerKim Dietz forspearheading an update of the Redmond Walking Tour Guide.
Tony Emmanuel for donating several Redmond maps from years gone by as
well as a vintage Valley Supply Co. cap. I purchased hardware from the original
owners in the 50s and 60s when they were in the Sammamish River Valley
between Thenos Dairy and Hollywood, he says. As I recall, they moved to
downtown Redmond in the 60s, in the block south of Keybank near an original
Pay-n-Pak store.
