Neighborhood Walks at BelRed Arts District, Eastgate and Cougar MountainLakemont

Bellevue's Neighborhood Walks series returns this July for its ninth summer, inviting residents to engage with city staff across three neighborhoods: BelRed Arts District, Eastgate, and Cougar Mountain/Lakemont. This initiative aims to strengthen community ties by allowing residents to share their perspectives on neighborhood character and emerging needs directly with city officials. The walks offer a platform for open discussions, encouraging civic participation and feedback. Bellevue has prioritized such community engagement efforts as part of its broader strategy to enhance local governance and responsiveness. Residents will have the chance to express their concerns about local issues and suggest improvements.

Each walk serves not only as a social gathering but also as a vital tool for city planning. The series reflects Bellevue's commitment to fostering a proactive dialogue between the city and its residents. It highlights the importance of community involvement in shaping the future of their neighborhoods.
