Teaming Up for the Perfect Safecation in the Heart of Bellevue

The Bellevue "Safecation" initiative, launched by Residence Inn and Bake’s Place Bar & Bistro, aims to rejuvenate local business activity during the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. This promotion offers attractive hotel rates bundled with discounts for meals at the restaurant, encouraging nearby residents to safely explore their local community. Both businesses faced significant hardships due to travel restrictions and social distancing, prompting them to innovate and find ways to welcome guests back. Kate Hudson, the Director of Sales at Residence Inn, noted an increase in local visitors, prompting the idea for this collaborative promotion. Chris Peterson, the general manager of Bake’s Place, emphasized the importance of creating a safe dining environment while maintaining their signature hospitality.

The revamped outdoor patio and new menu offerings reflect their commitment to providing a fresh experience while adhering to health guidelines. This partnership exemplifies local solidarity and the resilience of the Bellevue community. As both businesses work together to recover, they invite residents to rediscover the charm of Downtown Bellevue through the "Safecation" experience.
