Greenbelt Protocol

Did you all know that the greenbelts are considered part of the Bellevue Parks System? The open space areas are intended to provide recreation, neighborhood buffers, erosion and pollution control and critical wildlife habitat. Unfortunately, we have noticed that yard waste has been dumped onto park property and trees and shrubs have been trimmed or cut down. All such activity is against City Code. In the future, please be sure that your yard wastes are disposed of through the City provided curb-side waste collection program (and if you have dumped in the greenbelt, it would be nice if you recover the material and dispose of it properly!). And by all means, refrain from cutting trees in the greenbelt. If it seems that a tree may pose a physical hazard to your property, please call Stacy Good at (425)455-6855. She will arrange for an immediate survey and appropriate action.
