Bellevue balances its built environment with protected natural areas.
Environmental Stewardship
At Bellevue, a vibrant, urban core is integrated with appealing residential neighborhoods and beautiful natural areas. With planning and environmental protections, the "city in a park" has maintained a balance between forests and streams and highways and high-rises.
In June 2007, the City Council launched an environmental stewardship initiative, with an initial focus on the city's tree canopy, the expansion of recycling efforts at parks and ball fields, natural drainage practices and "green" buildings.
