I could not attend the forum about the possibility of a new regional jail in Bellevue. However, it would work better if we save Bellevue areas for business and housing and then pay tax to contribute to jail building elsewhere.

Plus, the “chosen” site is so close to Group Health and Overlake and hospital districts. It is not a good idea for traffic and for emergency ambulance traffic.
