BELLEVUE Community Info BELLEVUE Community Info BELLEVUE community info BELLEVUE community info Bellevue has grown tremendously in the past decade as major tech companies have landed here and brought employees along with them. Its highly desirable suburban neighborhoods, and convenient downtown condo core, have become some of the most sought after real estate in the region. Bellevue’s diverse neighborhoods span price ranges from ultra elite waterfront estates in West Bellevue to moderately affordable condominiums and townhomes in East Bellevue and South Bellevue. Bellevue’s housing is often contained within defined neighborhoods and is generally newer than homes found in Seattle. Bellevue, and the Eastside, is known for larger, more spacious lots and beautiful landscaping. BELLEVUE shops & eateries Bellevue’s downtown district remains a hub for luxury retail shopping and dining. Popular and premier retailers, hotels, and cultural attractions are centrally located near the Bellevue Square Mall and Lincoln Square, also referred to as the Bellevue Collection. The Shops at the Bravern and the Bellevue Connection are only a few blocks east of this downtown hub. There you will find exquisite restaurants and elite shops and boutiques. Main Street, in Old Bellevue, is a treat to stroll through. Here you’ll find very special shops and exquisite restaurants. Bellevue’s shopping and dining possibilities don’t end in downtown. Other shopping arenas include Marketplace at Factoria, known by locals as the Factoria Mall, Crossroads Mall, and the Overlake Shopping Center. BELLEVUE parks & recreation Known for its beauty and the icon of Eastside region, Bellevue rests between Lakes Washington and Sammamish (East-West) and Redmond-Kirkland and Newcastle (North-South). Known as a “city in a park”, Bellevue actively maintains and preserves its natural beauty and tree canopy. In 2016 alone, the city planted over 1,050 trees within the park & open space system. Bellevue’s Environmental Stewardship Initiative offers a goal of focus and mindfulness of the city’s environmental efforts. According to the City of Bellevue’s website, 2017 marks Bellevue’s 26th year being awarded the “Tree City USA” recognition by the National Arbor Day Foundation. By planting trees on an annual basis and committing to canopy preservation, the trees are providing health and economic benefits, increasing property values, limiting storm water runoff and improving water quality.

  • Creating Connections
    PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT The legislation that established the Regional Advisory Council (RAC) described several expectations for the group’s work, including • Coordinate planning and development activities to the extent possible to ensure effective use of the southern portion of the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC) and the Redmond Spur. • Oversee the partner planning process including implementing and coordinating the trail, high-capacity transit, and utility uses in the ERC. • Coordinating with affected cities around local planning and development. • Address both near-term and long-term recommendations. • Recommend any needed changes to the county’s countywide planning policies. • Reach out to a broad spectrum of stakeholders. This report provides a summary of the RAC’s work to accomplish those objectives, and identifies actions necessary to continue this collaborative approach among the owners. The report begins by describing the RAC’s vision for the corridor, the history of the ERC, and the process used by the RAC to develop these recommendations. In the subsequent chapters the report • Details the current conditions in the corridor, broken into five planning segments. It describes current uses adjacent to the corridor, the major constraints that will need to be resolved (pinch points, steep slopes, narrow trestles, etc.), opportunities for connections (trails, high-capacity transit, parks, utility corridors, etc.), and any significant plans of neighboring communities that could impact the corridor. • Presents several Principles developed by the RAC to guide more detailed recommendations. • Makes recommendations divided into several sections: Creation of a regional legacy for future generations, outlining plans to promote the corridor as a regional spine for mobility and economic development, be developed to capture local culture, history, and scenic values, and reflect the values of public health, public safety, equity and social justice, and sustainability.
