Those expected to participate in the roundtable include Grant Degginger, City of Bellevue Councilmember; Leslie Lloyd, Bellevue Downtown Association member; Ron Rauch, Bellevue Downtown Association Member; Betty Nokes, Bellevue Chamber of Commerce; Shiv Batra, Bellevue Chamber of Commerce; DeLee Shoemaker, Microsoft; Sue Baugh, Bel-Red Steering Committee;
