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.

Define Phase Begins!

Building on what we heard during the Discover Phase, the planning team has developed a draft vision statement and key policy moves. These policy moves reflect community priorities and help clarify intent and desired outcomes before more detailed policies are written.

  • 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.
