King County needs to temporarily suspend accepting storm debris due to an overwhelming amount of storm debris and garbage entering their transfer stations. Get more info.

Bomb cyclone storm impacts

A bomb cyclone windstorm lashed Bellevue the night of Tuesday, Nov. 19, bringing down trees throughout the city and leaving hundreds of thousands without power. The mayor proclaimed a civil emergency in the city due to the storm's extensive damage. Regular updates about the city's response to the storm are being posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.

With construction of the downtown station for East Link going full bore, access to City Hall is different these days. Our Accessing City Hall video offers guidance for getting to and parking here.

Sound Transit's new light rail station will be on Northeast Sixth Street, just north of City Hall. The downtown tunnel that will run under 110th Avenue Northeast before it turns is now being dug. As a result:

110th is closed to all traffic between Sixth Street and the driveway for City Hall visitor parking.
Access to overflow visitor parking is from 112th Avenue Northeast, not Northeast Sixth Street.

Marie Jensen, East Link outreach and community relations lead for the city, offers tips for best accessing City Hall in light of those realities, with video and maps helping users understand exactly where to go.

More details are available on the city's Access Bellevue page.
