Outdoor music in Redmond falls under two overlapping authorities: RMC Chapter 6.32 (public disturbance noise and EDNA limits) and individual park-use rules. Major concert venues near Redmond include Marymoor Park Concerts (operated by King County Parks), Redmond Downtown Park summer concert series, and Redmond Town Center amphitheater events. Permitted shows typically run from late afternoon until 10 PM on weeknights and up to 10:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, with amplified sound not to exceed 95 dBA at the mixing console and tailored off at the nearest residential property line. Private events at breweries such as Postdoc or Mac & Jack's also require permits if amplified music is audible off-premises. Sound-check windows must be pre-cleared with neighbors within 500 feet. Violations of approved event parameters can trigger immediate shutdown by Redmond Police and revocation of future permits.
Exceeding permit conditions: event may be shut down immediately. Civil penalties of $500 per violation plus permit revocation for future events.
