National Night Out Aug. 4 at Crossroads farmers market

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.

The Bellevue Police invite members of the community to a National Night Out event on Tuesday, August 4, noon-5 p.m., at the Crossroads Farmers Market, in the east parking lot of the Crossroads Mall.

Attendees will have opportunities to meet members of Bellevue's Police and Fire departments and get a picture with a comic book hero as part of the King County Library System's "Every Hero Has a Story" summer reading program. You can also view police vehicles and equipment, learn about the pedestrian safety program, "Stop, Look and Listen," and meet "Pedbee," the safety mascot.
