Vaccine requirement going away at Bellevue recreation facilities

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 South Bellevue Community Center offers a variety of recreational programs.

Bellevue is lifting COVID-19 vaccine requirements for its recreational facilities and community centers starting on Tuesday, March 1, in compliance with new Public Health - Seattle & King County regulations.

Visitors to the city’s parks facilities will no longer have to show proof of vaccination or negative COVID test results. The county will no longer require vaccine verification in Bellevue bars, restaurants or performance spaces either.

Masks are still required in parks facilities.

With new COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations decreasing, and nearly 80% of all King County residents (95% of Bellevue residents) fully vaccinated, Public Health made the decision to lift the vaccine verification requirement
