Design criteria source
Redmond publishes no city snow load. Ground snow loads are determined using the reliability-targeted strength-based values in ASCE 7-22 Chapter 7, via the ASCE Design Ground Snow Load Geodatabase or the Oregon Design Criteria Hub. Commercial seismic is based on a geotechnical report and the ASCE 7-22 Hazard Tool. Soil bearing is site-specific from a geotechnical report.redmondoregon.gov returns HTTP 403 to direct fetch. Reached via domain-restricted search. This confirms the city publishes no snow number, which is why the Redmond WASHINGTON design sheet (15 psf, SDC D, 12 inch frost) must never be substituted. Its 15 psf coincidentally matches the SEAO value for Redmond Oregon.

Ground snow load rises by this many psf for each foot of elevation gain within this region.
Region and factor only. This is NOT a finished ground snow load for an address; that needs the region base load and the site elevation.
