Trade Development Alliance reception at Bellevue

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 Trade Development Alliance and the City of Bellevue will host the third annual Global Partnerships reception to celebrate the many international connections in Bellevue and the Puget Sound area.

The event will be 5-6:30 p.m., Tuesday, December 2, at Puget Sound Energy headquarters downtown. Business leaders and others can network with leaders in the international business community and enjoy hors d'oeuvres and light refreshments.

Perhaps no part of the Puget Sound region is more diverse internationally than Bellevue. More than a third of Bellevue's population is foreign-born, and there are 70 languages spoken in the city. This diverse population creates a natural economic climate for international business, making Bellevue a fitting location for this reception.

Mayor Claudia Balducci and Planning & Community Development Director Chris Salomone will speak at the event. Admission is $35. registration and details .
