Redmond Washington Mugs
Description: A graphic in shades of mauve features the text "REDMOND" in large, outlined block letters above the smaller text "BICYCLE CAPITAL OF THE NORTHWEST." Both phrases are within rectangles to highlight the text, all set against a black background. The design has a lightly distressed appearance.
Description: Founded in Redmond, Washington in 1986, McCaw Cellular Communications was a cellular telephone pioneer that had been laying the groundwork for a cellular empire since 1981 while operating as a cable TV provider. Savvy licensing of cellular spectrum in the early '80s put McCaw Cellular in an extremely strong position, quickly outpacing the growth of the "Baby Bells" in the emerging market. Key acquisitions of mobile businesses gave them widespread access in all of the major US markets. In 1990, McCaw owned the first truly national cellular system. A national telecommunications company purchased 33% of the company in 1992, and arranged a merger in 1994 that absorbed McCaw Cellular Communications.
Description: Totem Bowl opened in 1958 with 16 lanes midway between Kirkland and Redmond on Northeast 70th Street, which is also known as the Old Redmond Road, in what is best known these days as the Bridle Trails neighborhood. Sometime during the '70s, the bowling alley was expanded to 32 lanes to better accommodate the number of bowlers. For the first 40 years, the interior and exterior were decorated with mid-century Native American caricatures, and the lounge was named after Kaw-Liga, the cigar store Indian from an old country song. In 1997, the aging alley got a makeover, losing the Native American decor in favor of a modern theme and name that played off the region's tech industries, but to many, it was always known simply as Totem Bowl.
