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.


The Factoria draft neighborhood area plan is being reviewed by the Planning Commission. The neighborhood area plan outlines present-day neighborhood conditions, opportunities, challenges, and policies and reflect community feedback collected over the past ten months. The policies in the plan guide how the city invests in programs, facilities, and partnerships to achieve the community’s vision for growth over the next 10-20 years.


Factoria Draft Neighborhood Area Plan


Read the Factoria Define Phase and Refine Phase Engagement Report to learn more about community engagement activities over the past six months that helped shape the draft plan.

The Planning Commission is expected to hold a public hearing in September on the proposed plan before developing recommendations for the City Council about their adoption. This hearing will give community members an opportunity to share their thoughts about the future of the neighborhood and the proposed plan with the commission.

  • 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.
