"I'm really excited and pleased to be in this role," said John Stokes after the City Council elected him mayor earlier this year. "I think we're going to have a great two years ahead of us."

The newsletter also includes articles about:
- Sound Transit poised to break ground on a downtown tunnel for East Link;
- High rankings and awards the city has earned;
- Bellevue's first Neighborhoods Conference, coming up in May; and
- Mediation help for startup founders in disagreement.
