    Updated 10:35 p.m., 10/24/20 Mayor Lynne Robinson has lifted the civil emergency order and the emergency order prohibiting weapons. The order termination states, "extraordinary measures that were required to protect the public peace, safety and welfare within the City are no longer needed."

    Earlier in the evening, Bellevue Mayor Lynne Robinson declared a civil emergency in the city and signed an emergency order prohibiting weapons in the downtown area where demonstrations from multiple, opposing groups were reported. The Mayor is authorized to “proclaim the existence of a civil emergency whenever a riot, unlawful assembly, or other hostile action, or the imminent threat thereof, occurs in the city and results in or threatens to result in the death or injury of persons or the destruction of or damage to property to such extent as to require, in the judgment of the Mayor, extraordinary measures to protect the public peace, safety and welfare.” 

    The city has also requested further law enforcement support from surrounding jurisdictions to maintain safety and order for the groups demonstrating and the public. Residents and visitors are advised to avoid the area. 

    Based on the declaration of an emergency, the Mayor issued an emergency order prohibiting possession of items that can be used as weapons, with the intent to harm persons or property, in the downtown area stretching west to the Bellevue/Medina city border and east to I-405. 

    The ban states, “all persons are prohibited from possessing any weapon (with the exception of firearms), including but not limited to, rocks, bottles, pipes, bats, clubs, chains, sharpened objects, shields, gas, flares, torches, paint balls, light bulbs, any incendiary devices, pry-bars, skateboards, liquid filled balloons, lumber, or any other objects which can be used for infliction of bodily harm or damage to property, if possessed with the intent to cause harm to persons or property. With respect to firearms, all persons are prohibited from discharging any firearms in the restricted area.” The restricted area is bounded approximately on the West by the City of Bellevue/City of Medina jurisdictional border, on the South by Main St/SE 1st St, on the East by Interstate 405 and on the North by NE 12th St.

    The city will continue to post meaningful updates to its website at bellevuewa.gov and through the Bellevue Police Department Twitter account @BvuePD.
