The Northtowne Community Club is being re-activated and is seeking new participants. The historic community is located just north of downtown Bellevue between Northeast 12th Street on the south, Clyde Hill at 98th Avenue Northeast on the west, 520 on the north and 405 on the east.

Some of the neighborhoods have names although many neighborhood signs are lost. Some of those areas are Spring Hills, Holiday Hill, Apple Valley, Bellewood Farms, Spring Creek, Diamond S Ranch, Manor Hill, Ashwood, Parkside, and Devonshire.

The Northtowne Community Club began in 1975. It was active in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. Three of Northtowne’s presidents went on to become Bellevue City Council members.

Issues the reorganized community club may focus on include workingwith the city for signs detailing the neighborhoods of Historic Northtowne for historic/beautification/identification reasons, improving pedestrian safety,reviewing hazardous waste removal routes, assisting the Ashwood community in keeping its park green open space, and reviewing school boundaries for the area. Recurring issues include the size of new magahomes in the area.
