Updated Blog And Linkedin Page
I'm Bob Yoder and have been writing the Redmond Neighborhood Blog for 13 years. I'm also a PATCH Mayor.
I'm 69 years old. My wife Pam and I have lived in Redmond on Education Hill 42 years. Our one daughter graduated from Gonzaga with two degrees; then achieved a University of Montana Masters degree in Environmental Science. My hobbies of yesteryear were lacrosse and mountaineering; now I hike, bird watch, bike, loving all things outdoors.
For 13 years, I've been publishing about 4 blog entries per week without pay or a sponsor. Yes, I'm passionate about Redmond. I have a special interest in mental health since a few of my relatives have been diagnosed with the illness; and because it's stigmatized in our culture. A big source of my blog news and opinion is from city, school and Evergreenhealth events and their government public meetings and memos. Now, I'm reaching out to more of our residents and neighbors to hear their stories.
