Sarah Baumann, a coordinator for senior and adult programs at the Redmond Senior and Community Center, said the center has welcomed more than 34,000 visitors and sold more than 31,000 passes since it opened last year. "We have a multitude of engaging classes for adults in fitness, dance, music, art, and even improv," Baumann said. The center offers dedicated senior spaces including a senior lounge and library, free wellness workshops, interest groups and fitness classes. Baumann said the center also serves lunch three times a week for seniors. City staff characterized the center as a place for social connection and activity. Attendance and program sales figures were presented as totals since the center opened; no per-day or per-program breakdown was provided. The comments appeared in a recorded city news segment rather than during a council meeting or public hearing. Baumann spoke in the role of a center coordinator and did not propose new city policy or request formal action.
