City Council Vision

Bellevue 2035 – The City Where You Want To Be
Bellevue welcomes the world. Our diversity is our strength.
We embrace the future while respecting our past.

On May 19, 2014 the City Council approved a 20-year vision for the city, including strategic target areas and two-year priorities. These priorities were updated in April 2016. On May 7, 2018 the council adopted a fresh slate of three-year priorities (2018-20) in addition to minor changes to the vision statement. We track how well we're doing with these target areas at Strategic Target Areas Performance. 

• 2018-20 Priorities
