Lake to Lake show: work or jail?

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.

A new program by Bellevue's Probation Services offers work in lieu of jail.

"It kind of feels good just being a part of the Bellevue community and helping instead of sitting in jail," said Ryan Marcel Trimble, a program participant.

Trimble and others talk about their work experiences on the latest edition of Lake to Lake, a video news show available on the city's YouTube channel and on Bellevue TV. Also featured this month are segments on:

Calling 8-1-1 before you dig;
Surviving a heart attack, what happens next; and
Warning signs of a financial scam.
