Editor's Note: Not Goodbye, But See You Later

The new year is bringing some changes to Redmond Patch.

After nearly two years of managing the site on a daily basis, it's time for me to move on to new things. Effective Jan. 1, I've transitioned to a regional role within Patch called Field Editor. This is a brand-new position that will enable me to provide our 15 Puget Sound-area sites with coverage of topics that affect readers across multiple towns.

Although I will no longer be managing the daily operations of Redmond Patch, you will continue to see my byline on the site from time to time. This message is not so much a "goodbye" but rather an "until we meet again."

That said, leaving my official post as editor of Redmond Patch is bittersweet. I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know Redmond and the people and places that make the town a great place to live and work.

For the time being, our Woodinville editor, Lisa Baumann, is overseeing the editorial duties for Redmond Patch. To reach her directly, send an email to Redmond@patch.com or call her at 612-839-0822. I know she will appreciate your breaking news tips, story ideas and feedback.

Before signing off from this role, I'd like to thank the many, many community members who have supported the site since its humble inception in February 2011. I'm hopeful these structural changes will enable Redmond Patch and the rest of the Patch organization to serve Redmond more effectively in the months and years to come.

In the meantime, you can continue to reach me at Caitlin.Moran@patch.com or 425-440-1280. Please do keep in touch.
