• Redmond business owner begs for bollards in saga of smash-and-grabs (fox13seattle.com) — A downtown Redmond cannabis shop owner says repeated smash-and-grab crashes have caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage while he battles the city for permission to install protective bollards. He’s temporarily using concrete eco-blocks, which the city has tried to move, and is now urging neighbors to contact city leaders as officials continue reviewing his permit request.
