Bellevue's Neighborhood Walks are returning for their eighth summer, offering a unique chance for residents to engage directly with city officials, including Acting City Manager Diane Carlson. Scheduled for July 15, 17, and 18, these walks will cover the West Lake Sammamish/Lake Hills, Factoria, and West Bellevue neighborhoods. The initiative invites community members to voice their thoughts on local issues and share insights about the distinct character of their neighborhoods. Each walk will start at designated points, allowing residents who may not wish to walk to still connect with city staff and fellow neighbors. This engagement effort exemplifies Bellevue's dedication to promoting community dialogue and addressing neighborhood concerns effectively.

Residents are encouraged to participate and communicate any special needs or accommodations in advance. For those unable to attend the walks, the city remains committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all voices are heard. The Neighborhood Walks aim to strengthen community ties and enhance the quality of life in Bellevue.
