At a recent meeting, the Bellevue City Council unanimously decided to extend the Safe Parking Pilot Program through 2026, which provides essential parking and support services to families experiencing homelessness. The program has successfully housed 30 out of 53 families, including 69 children, since its launch in February 2024. In another development, the council initiated a community-driven naming process for a new park located at the corner of Main Street and 112th Avenue Southeast, following its transfer from Sound Transit. King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn presented the State of the County, emphasizing public safety and homelessness as major concerns while discussing the proposed budget amid financial challenges. The council also proclaimed March 2025 as Women’s History Month, recognizing the contributions and achievements of women throughout history.

This proclamation aims to inspire future generations by preserving the stories of women's challenges and victories. Detailed information regarding these initiatives is available in the meeting materials, underscoring the council's commitment to community engagement and support. The full presentation from Dunn is accessible via Bellevue Television, ensuring transparency and public awareness.
