Summary

Redmond announced that new concrete sidewalks will include hidden icons visible only when wet; residents are invited to find them and share photos but asked not to post wide-angle images that reveal locations.

Redmond's weekly bulletin said city crews are embedding hidden icons in newly poured concrete that only appear when the pavement is wet.

The announcer encouraged residents to take photos and tag the city on social media but asked people to zoom in on the icons and avoid posting wide-angle shots that would reveal the locations.

The segment framed the icons as a community engagement feature; it did not provide an implementation schedule or a map of where the icons have been placed.
