Welcome to Bellevue's Great Neighborhoods Program

The Great Neighborhoods program is the City of Bellevue’s process for developing community-driven, neighborhood plans that strengthen an area’s identity and guide future improvements.


Refine Phase Begins!

Building on what we heard during the Define Phase, the planning team is developing draft policies that incorporate community feedback into a set of forward-thinking, actionable policies that reflect the community's vision for the neighborhood over the next 10-20 years. Join us at the Eastgate and Factoria Draft Policy Open House on Thursday, May 7 to review and share feedback on draft policies.

Define Phase Concludes

Over the past two months, community members have shared their thoughts on the draft neighborhood vision, policy ideas and urban design opportunities that are foundational to the draft plan. The planning team is summarizing the input into an engagement report anticipated to be shared later in the spring.

Click the links below to see what others have contributed to the conversation, and stay tuned for other opportunities to shape the plan.


Read the Factoria Discover Phase Engagement Report to learn more about past community engagement activities, who the City engaged with during this phase, and the City’s efforts to equitably engage the community.

  • Share As a Bellevue resident, I’m increasingly concerned about the state of the Factoria area. The walking and biking paths—funded by taxpayers—are now being used as shelter spaces, and the intersection near the men's shelter has become a hotspot for loitering and unsafe activity. This includes a recent tragic incident that has heightened community concerns. While I understand the shelter was privately funded, it’s important to acknowledge that many residents voiced concerns about a low-barrier model, and unfortunately, some of those concerns are now being realized. What is the city’s plan to restore safety and cleanliness in this area? How are we prioritizing taxpayer investment, community well-being, and long-term solutions that support both residents and those in need? We all want Bellevue to be a safe, welcoming place—and I hope we can work together to find a balanced path forward. on Facebook Share As a Bellevue resident, I’m increasingly concerned about the state of the Factoria area.

    Public safety is both a city and Council priority, and it is an important lens through which the city develops policies for neighborhood area plans. Enhanced community facilities, public spaces, and pedestrian infrastructure are key elements of this plan and are tools that can address community health and safety. The city also has ongoing programs and initiatives related to public safety, and the planning team coordinates with staff leading these efforts to support positive public safety outcomes across these different efforts.
