In 1850, McRedmond left Ireland during the potato famine, and immigrated to the United States. He traveled across the country, and settled at Port Madison in Kitsap County. There, he took up service as county commissioner and sheriff. Perrigo, a Civil War veteran, and his wife Laura, had traveled around Cape Horn from New England in 1866 and, like McRedmond, also settled in Kitsap County.

Both men had wanted to homestead. After visiting areas east of Seattle, they decided to file claims in the Sammamish Valley where the soil was rich and the waters bountiful. Immediately after filing claims they started to clear their land.

In 1985, Microsoft Corporation began taking flight. Founded in 1975 by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, the company had outgrown its offices in Bellevue and was looking for a place to set up a corporate campus. Gates and Allen chose Redmond as their headquarters. By 2004, Microsoft controlled about 355 acres of land in Redmond. In July 2004, the company announced plans to acquire an additional 20 acres by buying the corporate headquarters of financially troubled clothing retailer Eddie Bauer.
