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. Most city facilities have power but some are on modified hours or closed due to power outages. Damages from the storm continue to impact Bellevue, prompting the mayor to proclaim a civil emergency in the city. Updates about the city's response will be posted at Bomb Cyclone Storm.

Early on June 10 Bellevue Police served search warrants in Burien and Des Moines, and recovered $65,000 worth of jewelry that was stolen from the Bellevue Square Nordstrom's in December. A vehicle involved in the crime was also seized. There were no arrests, although charges in the case are forthcoming.

On Dec. 28, at approximately 4 a.m., Bellevue Square Nordstrom's was burglarized. The thieves drove a pickup truck through the front door and used tools to break open the jewelry cases before fleeing the scene with more than $200,000 in jewelry.

Bellevue detectives have previously filed charges on four adults related to this incident, serving several search warrants and recovering $40,000 in stolen jewelry.
