Walk

Over half of all car trips in the United States are less than 1 mile-or about a 20-minute walk.

Luckily, Redmond is a "Walkers Paradise" with a Walkscore of 95. This makes it easy for you to swap some of these short drives for a stroll.

Even if you can’t walk for your commute, the benefits of walking to grab a bite to eat or to run your errands are hard to beat!
