Hello neighbors!  I consider myself very fortunate to live and raise my family in Bellevue, for 20+ years, amidst the beauty of it's parks, trails, plentiful recreation, and friendly people.  The careful planning that's helped provide this quality of life has been something I've witnessed and been proud to contribute to over my 10 years serving on the EBCC.  Like many of you, I am very concerned about keeping our city on the right path, with measured, prudent growth.  Lately, developments in Bellevue looks to be challenging those limits, and our traffic congestion is surely the most obvious symptom. Our East Bellevue Community Council has been a steady voice in efforts to keep Bellevue's small-town feel and quality of life.  And as a council member I will continue to be dedicated to that cause.  I appreciate your consideration of these points, and also thank you for your vote.
