With approval of annexation ordinances on May 21, the City Council welcomed three unincorporated South Bellevue communities into the city, effective June 1. For residents of Eastgate, Tamara Hills and Horizon View, it’s the end of a journey that has included months of public discussion and a successful citizen-initiated petition signature drive. For both the city and the annexing areas, it marks the beginning of what promises to be a long and satisfying relationship.

As the city begins to serve its newest residents, staff are planning early opportunities to get better acquainted in a fun, relaxing and informative atmosphere. The following special events are designed to welcome residents, introduce them to Bellevue services and establish a solid foundation for the future.

Council Reception, June 18 – New residents will be welcomed and their role in conducting the successful annexation petition campaign will be acknowledged. Refreshments and entertainment will provide a festive backdrop to the event, which starts at 7:30 p.m. outside Council Chambers. Council members will join attendees at the reception from 7:45 to 8. A formal proclamation will be presented during the regular council session that follows.
Drop-in Meetings, June 19-21 – Three drop-in meetings are scheduled for new residents who would like to meet one-on-one or in small groups with city staff to address post-annexation questions and learn more about city services. The meetings are 10 a.m. to noon, June 19, and 5:30 to 7 p.m., June 20, at Newport Way Library, and 10 a.m. to noon, June 21, at the South Bellevue Community Center.
