Bellevue's best chapter
is our next one.
The foundation is set. Tap each priority to see where Rusty is taking Bellevue next.
Keep Bellevue's police and fire departments fully staffed and well-equipped, so response times stay fast and every neighborhood stays safe. Public safety was priority one — and it stays that way.
Build on the Good Life District, the new Opportunity Zone, the planned indoor waterpark resort, and the REACH/NC3 innovation campus — bringing new jobs, private investment, and opportunity to Bellevue.
Revitalize Mission Avenue and Olde Towne, extend sewer infrastructure into South Bellevue, and keep improving the streets and utilities that make daily life here work.
Protect Bellevue's AA+ finances and keep spending disciplined — growing the economy the right way so the city relies less on property taxes to fund the services families count on.
Keep building American Heroes Park into a regional destination and follow through on the Parks & Recreation plan — amenities Bellevue families can enjoy today and for generations to come.
