Redmond Press Release: It has been brought to the City's attention that our residents have recently been solicited via a telephone poll regarding a safe injection site in Redmond. This poll includes false statements. The City is not considering allowing a safe injection site in Redmond, as the poll alleges. Please be aware the poll is not sponsored by the City of Redmond. We appreciate residents alerting the City to this matter and relaying the information to us.
If you, or someone you know, does receive a call, you can report your concerns to the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission (PDC). You can find their contact information and report online at https://www.pdc.wa.gov/. The PDC has advised residents to document the call to the best of their ability and to listen for the sponsoring organization of the poll if that information is provided. They noted the sponsoring organization might not be provided until the end of the poll.
