Bellevue in good hands

Published 2:41 pm Tuesday, August 27, 2013

One of the things I love about Bellevue is that it is a big city with a small town heart. Over the last few years, I have seen our downtown area blossoming into a beautiful and well-maintained commercial hub. It’s great to see that hundreds of businesses call our city home.

But at the same time, the hardworking members of our City Council have sought to preserve our high quality of life and minimize the negative impacts of economic development on our neighborhoods. Unlike other cities, Bellevue has plenty of public parks and open spaces. In addition, we can feel safe because the council has balanced the budget without sacrificing public services. It also has worked to improve our education system while trimming wasteful spending and keeping our tax burden low.

The election this November is an important one in determining Bellevue’s future. Mayor Conrad Lee and the City Council are looking out for the city’s best interests, and we can rest assured that Bellevue is in good hands.
