• Redmond small businesses prepare for economic boost as Microsoft ends remote work (komonews.com) — Redmond small businesses are gearing up for a surge in customers as Microsoft ends most remote work and brings employees back to nearby offices starting Feb. 23. Restaurant and shop owners hope renewed weekday foot traffic will revive lunch crowds, stabilize sales, and fill vacant storefronts, while city officials welcome the added energy in downtown and town center areas. 
• Roofing scam in Redmond costs victim nearly $300K (kiro7.com) — Redmond police are warning residents after a homeowner in Education Hill lost nearly $300,000 to an aggressive door-to-door roofing scam.
