Contributed by Debra Sinick Trader Joe’s (on Redmond Way next to QFC) will be a huge asset to Redmond. There are now fabulous shopping options in Redmond all the way from Whole Foods, Larry's (now Top Foods), QFC, and soon Trader Joe’s.

I absolutely love how it's right by Quality Food Center. Or how a 3-4 minute walk gets you to a second QFC. You can have only so much food, right? Anyways, let's see how it goes.
