Spring in Redmond with Your Pet

Spring in Redmond with Your Pet (Yes, Even Cats)

Redmond is friendly for all kinds of pets to get fresh air, whether that’s a leashed walk, a stroller ride, or an outing at Marymoor Park or along the Sammamish River Trail.

Morning: Fresh Air & Open Space

Start your day at Marymoor Park, one of the largest and most versatile outdoor spaces in the region, perfect for enjoying with your pet. For dogs, it’s a dream—wide open fields, trails, and an off-leash area to run and play. But it’s just as enjoyable for other pets too. Paved paths and scenic picnic spots make it easy for:

Cats in backpacks or strollers
Small pets in carriers
Older or more relaxed animals

May brings blooming greenery and comfortable temperatures, making it an ideal time for a peaceful morning outing.

Mid-Morning: Coffee & Calm Vibes

After some fresh air, head into town for a laid-back coffee break.

Outdoor seating at these shops makes it easy to settle in with your pet—whether they’re lounging at your feet or peeking out from a carrier. It’s a great reset point before heading into the rest of your day.

Late Morning: Stroll & Explore

Take a walk along the Sammamish River Trail, an open-air shopping destination that’s perfect for a relaxed stroll. Enjoy the fresh air and scenic views with your pet for the perfect day.

This is an especially great stop for:

Pets who prefer low-key environments
Short, easy walks with plenty of breaks
People-watching from a comfy carrier or stroller

Lunch: Patio Season is Here

Spring means patio season is officially back—and your pet is invited!

Grab lunch at The Tipsy Cow, Postdoc Brewing, Spark Pizza, or Redmond’s Bar & Grill, all local favorites with a welcoming outdoor setup. Spacious seating makes it easy to accommodate pets of all kinds, whether they’re stretched out in the sun or tucked beside you.

It’s the perfect chance to relax, refuel, and enjoy the slower pace of a spring afternoon.
