Welcome to Bellevue's Great Neighborhoods Program

Bellevue is known for its diverse, vibrant, and welcoming neighborhoods. The high quality of life that residents enjoy is no accident - it’s the result of thoughtful and collaborative planning with the people who live, work, and play here.

The Great Neighborhoods program is the process for developing neighborhood area plans that reflect the community’s values and vision for the future. Neighborhood area plans inform future growth and change by providing guidance about the kinds of improvements people want to see.

Neighborhood area plans are part of the city’s overall Comprehensive Plan. They are important tools for addressing the changing needs and conditions at the local level. This project will focus on developing policies and direction around:

  1. Neighborhood Identity: Define the unique aspects of each neighborhood and develop strategies to highlight them.

  1. Enhanced Community Gathering Spaces: Define and strengthen community hubs and “third places” that foster social interaction and connectivity.

  1. Urban Design Framework: Establish guidelines to support neighborhood design, focusing on opportunities to activate spaces and improve the look and feel of public spaces.

  1. Neighborhood Connectivity: Make it safe and convenient for people to get around their neighborhood, connect to transit and use other modes of transportation.

  1. Public Realm Improvements: Identify needs and priorities for future improvements, such as streets and trails, through community engagement.


This is our online engagement hub. Here you can find opportunities to share ideas, download key documents, and follow progress. Right now we invite community members to share thoughts about what makes Eastgate unique. Check out our Neighborhood Identity Tool below to share your thoughts!
