Thank you to the over 7000 individuals who participated in the update to the Bellevue 2044 Comprehensive Plan. The updated plan was adopted by City Council in October of 2024. You can read the plan and past documents at www.bellevuewa.gov/comprehensive-plan.

Bellevue is a city of neighborhoods. Throughout the city people can find a variety of places from quiet and isolated residential neighborhoods to vibrant and active mixed use neighborhoods. No matter the neighborhood, an important need is a commercial center where people can grab a cup of coffee with a friend, run a quick errand, have dinner with the family, or gather together for community celebrations.

During Phase 1, the planning team heard from the community a strong desire to support small, locally owned business, increase the ability to walk and bike to places close to home, and create more community gathering spaces.

The planning process gives us a great opportunity to think about placemaking. How do we want our existing neighborhood centers to look, feel & function in the future and where are there opportunities for creating new neighborhood centers.

DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT READY FOR REVIEW

On Thursday, April 27 the city released the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Comprehensive Plan Periodic Update. Community members and organizations with an interest in the future growth of Bellevue can now comment on the DEIS until 4:30 p.m. on Monday, June 12.
