DAVID G. REICHERT\n\n                             of washington\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Monday, December 31, 2012\n\n  Mr. REICHERT. Mr. Speaker, as the two members who have the honor of\nrepresenting this city today and in the future, I rise with my\ncolleague Representative Suzan DelBene to honor the centennial\nanniversary of the City of Redmond, celebrated today, December 31,\n2012.\n  First incorporated in 1912, eligible thanks to the birth of its 300th\ncitizen, Redmond began as a small logging community. A century later,\nit has turned into a vibrant urban center of 55,000 that still\nmaintains its strong sense of community and is proud of its small-town\nfeel.\n  Over the last century, Redmond has evolved from logging town, to a\nsmall bedroom community east of the big city, to a bustling city in\nitself. Today, it's home to some of the most prominent high tech\ncompanies in the world. Redmond's tremendous growth has been fueled by\nthe pioneering, entrepreneurial spirit of the town's first settlers\nand, in the century since, has attracted and inspired generations of\nWashingtonians to turn Redmond into a premier economic engine for the\n21st century.\n  With all this growth and change, Redmond continues to maintain a deep\nsense of friendship and community. For example, Mr. Speaker, the\nRedmond Derby Days, a city celebration that grew out of a bicycle race\namong local paperboys after the depression, is going strong after 70\nyears. The Derby Days are bigger and better than ever and today, the\nsignature event has the honor of being the nation's longest running\nbicycle race.\n  Over the last few years, we have both enjoyed participating in so\nmany activities and events in beautiful Redmond and are honored to\nrepresent the great people of this city.\n  With the further expansion of mass transit, Redmond has an amazing\nopportunity to continue its growth and impact neighboring cities.\nTogether with Seattle and environs, its influence contributes to form a\nregion that is vibrant, attractive for business and a great place to\nlive, work and raise a family. As Mayor Marchione, along with all of\nRedmond's dedicated City Council members, continue to build on\nRedmond's rich history, we look forward to watching and aiding with the\ncity's success in years to come.\n  Mr. Speaker, Representative DelBene and I again offer congratulations\nto the City of Redmond for a wonderful, rich first century and together\nwish them the best as they move into their second century of\nprosperity.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2012-12-31-pt1-PgE2021-2"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 37.378886016085744, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
