T-minus 2 months and 2 days until the 2 Line crosses the lake 2 Seattle!

March 28th is going to be a date that fundamentally transforms our city's identity, connecting us with the region like never before and in ways we can't even imagine.

We can't wait!

Spokane showing some urgency and we love to see it.

Bellevue needs to find the revenue & political will to realize a similar vision. As the Eastside's central city, the conditions for people biking on our streets impact our whole region's mobility network.

We urge Council & staff to move faster.
Last night, #SpoCouncil approved funding to build out 27 miles of new bike infrastructure by 2027.

All the more reason for Bellevue to deploy all 37 of its planned speed cameras as quickly as possible!

These things save lives.
After NYC installed 2,000 speed cameras, crashes fell 30% and injuries 16%.

7 new speed cameras are coming to Bellevue streets in 2026!

These will make our streets safer while bringing equitable enforcement of our speed limits. Thanks to Bellevue City Council for the unanimous vote!

We urge Council & staff to quickly move forward w/ implementation of more locations.

This past Sunday was the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.

We thank Bellevue City Council for honoring the occasion with an official proclamation, and we urge leaders to work hard to make Bellevue a city where nobody loses their life on our streets.

2 months ago today, we brought community-led tactical urbanism to Bellevue for the first-time ever!

Park(ing) Day showed what was possible if we're willing to use some of our streetspace for people instead of cars.

Thanks again to everyone who helped make it happen!

Takeaways from Our Candidate Forum and Progressive Victories in Bellevue Elections
With vote counting wrapping up in King County, we would like to congratulate all the winning candidates on their hard-fought races! Long-time incumbents Councilmember Jared Nieuwenhuis and Mayor Lynne Robinson each secured enough votes to serve their third and fourth terms, respectively. Appointed Councilmembers Claire Sumadiwirya and Vishal Bhargava went in front of the voters for the first time, and each earned a victory that will carry them through the end of their term in 2027.

Here are the proposed changes to ST Express routes planned for next fall after Federal Way and East Link are open.

Biggest changes: terminating the 574 at Fed Way, the 556 at Bellevue, the 522 at S Shoreline. Eliminating the 515, 550, 554, 580, 586. Increasing service on the 535, 513.

You (read: we, excitedly so) love to see it!
Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine just told the board's rider experience committee that East Link has officially entered the system integration phase.

That means you'll see single trains with up to four cars operating across the I-90 bridge "intermittently."
