Medina residents take a stand against cell tower in park, and win.
Reporter Editor Craig Groshart asks, “Are school failing?” Yes they are. They are failing to get the parents involved in their children’s education.
My wife and I walk the Bellevue sidewalks almost every morning. Frequently we are almost blown off the sidewalks by joggers or bikers who either don’t bother to announce their presence or do so softly or incomprehensibly giving us no time to react.
According to LetsFreeCongress.com in the 2012 US House elections, 95 percent of the candidates that outspent their opponents won, while 1 percent of the donors contributed 68 percent of the campaign funding.
The USDA Wildlife Services has been lethally removing Canada Geese in the Puget Sound area for 13 years under an interlocal agreement between several cities and entities within the region.
As I sat in traffic trying to drive up the I-5 north, I bemoaned the lack of funding for our state’s infrastructure.
Several points are needed to clarify the recent article on Bellevue’s shoreline management program.
The real issue with the light rail yard is that the inept Bel-Red rezoning ripped out the last areas capable of supporting industrial growth in this city, preferring a vision of pretty pink castles full of niche tech startups and artisan pet food shops.
Here we go again. In 2012, half a dozen Romney signs went missing from my yard. This year, I support Pedro Celis for Congress.Twice now, somebody took the Pedro sign from my yard denying me the right to express my view.
I found humor in Larry Brickman’s recent letter with a combination of two Internet lists (“Conundrums and observations”).
Conservative ideology is based on protecting rich people from having to pay for the benefits they reap from government: peace at home, government contracts, stable markets, laws, infrastructure, an educated work force, research, potable water, public health, etc.

Your June 13 editorial cartoon is disgraceful. Not only is it a insult to the people of our community who suffer from mental illness and their families, but also an attempt to undermine support for Initiative 594 which will require background checks on all gun sales.
Your June 13 editorial cartoon suggests a misunderstanding regarding the effectiveness of background checks prior to purchasing firearms.
I love living in Bellevue, and as one who is interested in how the city of Bellevue is managed, I had the privilege of participating in the first annual Bellevue Essentials leadership class. This eight-week class provided a general overview of nearly every aspect of how the city is run, and in my opinion, Bellevue is a well-run city.
