Economic Policies

Bellevue’s vision for economic development is contained in the city’s Comprehensive Plan. The Economic Development Element sets the direction with one overarching goal: to pursue a strong local economy consistent with a sustainable natural environment and a high quality of life. In this way, the city can provide:

Employment and other economic opportunities for residents of Bellevue and the central Puget Sound region;
Vibrant commercial areas to serve the needs of the city and region; and
A solid tax base to support local services.

In addition there are six sub-goals and 38 policies to implement this vision. The six sub-goals address key areas for concentrated city attention are:

Economic climate
Community livability and economic growth
Planning and infrastructure
Maintaining and revitalizing commercial areas
Business marketing, retention and recruitment
City development strategies

In other words, Bellevue’s vision is to have a stable, sustainable and strong economy. Additional county and regional economic policies can be found at King County and Puget Sound Regional Council .
