Redmond Washington 1912 Real Photo Postcard

Redmond, Washington, depicted here in its early stages of development, was a burgeoning community in the Pacific Northwest during the early 20th century. Originally settled in the 1870s and incorporated in 1912, the town served as a hub for logging, farming, and light industry. The visible Redmond Trading Co. Inc. and Redmond Post Office highlight the essential commercial and civic infrastructure that supported a growing population. The presence of both horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles dates this scene likely to the 1910s or early 1920s, a period of significant transition in American urban and rural landscapes.
