[edit] Trivia

- Someone has counted how many boards were used for the walk; the number is carved on the southern end of the boardwalk.
- Redondo was named for Redondo Beach, CA after it gained an unsavory reputation for reasons since forgotten. Official Redondo addresses lie along a few blocks of waterfront Redondo blvd.
- The adjacent region of Puget Sound is known as "Poverty Bay" and provides an abundance of sea life for those fishing from the pier.
- Highline Community College operates a Marine Laboratory on Poverty Bay pier.
- "Salty's at Redondo" offers an exquisite Sunday brunch including a chocolate fountain, a variety of fresh seafood and omelets to order.
