Neighborhood Walks give residents and city leadership an opportunity to engage in informal and productive conversations about what matters most to our community, while experiencing Bellevue’s unique neighborhoods together.
Responding to resident requests, city leaders visited with residents during Summer Chats in 2017. The program got a name change - to Neighborhood Walks - in 2018.
