If you’ve been out-and-about between downtown Bellevue and Redmond in recent weeks you’ve likely seen light rail trains on daily practice runs. On two occasions this week I’ve stopped at crossings to let trains pass.

Trains will start running on regular schedules with passengers this spring connecting the South Bellevue station and Redmond Technology station. In the next year or so the “2 Line” will connect Redmond and Bellevue to Mercer Island and Seattle.

After years of construction it is exciting to see trains running on tracks along roadways and overpasses. Drivers and pedestrians will need to be aware of train crossings, so keep in mind:

–trains run in both directions, so always look both ways before crossing
–when driving, stay alert and observe crossing markers, lights and traffic arms
–when walking, stay alert, especially if wearing headphones or focusing on a tech screen
–use designated crosswalks and pay attention to crossing signals
–bike riders remember to cross tracks at a 90 degree angle to prevent getting stuck

It’s been a long time coming, but light rail is going to bring an efficient and exciting new way to commute to the eastside.

Real estate, and the laws surrounding it, is constantly changing. Beginning January 1st of this year, the State of Washington now requires that home buyers sign a Buyer Broker Services Agreement when working with a licensed broker in their search for a home.

While it sounds like a big change, Buyer Broker Services Agreements have been in use for some time; the main difference is that now they are legally mandated. Like seller agreements (the listing contract), which have long been required, the buyer agreement provides important protections for all parties involved in a real estate transaction.

Buyer Broker Services Agreements carry many benefits. They protect you from conflicts of interest, require your broker to follow specific professional guidelines and provides transparency about your broker’s legal duties and compensation. All of this adds up to enhanced clarity up front when working with a broker to purchase a home. Windermere has always encouraged the use of buyer agency agreements and now they’ll be the norm for all real estate companies and licensed brokers statewide.

If you have questions about this change, the real estate market in your community, or other real estate topics, don’t hesitate to contact me.

The City of Bellevue is planning to expand Meydenbauer Bay Park. Completed in 2019, the waterfront park has become a popular year round destination. Potential plans include improving access to the Downtown Park,  adding a community building, marina and parking changes/improvements and continuing shoreline restoration. Meydenbauer Bay Park will be the anchor at the west end of the future Grand Connection.

 

The design phase is expected to last about 18 months. The City is soliciting community input for this project. Public meetings will be scheduled in the coming months and into early next year. You can visit  EngagingBellevue.com to learn more about the project, take the survey, and let the city know what you’d like to see as plans to expand the park take shape.

Bellhop is a new alternative to driving and paid ride share programs. Bellhop, which started August 1st, is a pilot program running through the end of the year. Visit Bellevue Washington, in partnership with Circuit, is offering a free, all- electric shuttle serving the downtown Bellevue area.

The on-demand electric shuttle supports Bellevue’s commitment to sustainability and hopes to fulfill the need for a quick ride for around-town trips. The hope is this service will replace short car rides which account for nearly a third of daily car trips. Bellhop could reduce over 100 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually.

How does it work?
Download the Circuit app, schedule a ride and the driver will confirm when they’re on their way. It’s a free ride anywhere within the service area.  Four-legged family members are welcome as long as they sit on a lap or on the floor directly next to their person.

You know it’s summer in the Northwest when it’s time for the BAM Arts Fair and Seafair.

The BAM Arts Fair is the largest juried arts and crafts festival in the Northwest. Located at the west side of Bellevue Square, you’ll find 300+ artists featuring everything from nationally known artists to local one-of-a-kind arts and crafts designers. Don’t miss the Kids Fair, food trucks and exhibitions. (visit bellevuearts.org for more information)

The weekend of the BAM Arts Fair also signals the start of Seafair. Events kick off with the Alaska Airlines/Seafair Torchlight Parade on Saturday July 29th. The parade starts at 3:00 PM  this year (earlier than in the past) at Seattle Center with endless entertainment and of course the Seafair Pirates. The Boeing Air Show runs August 4th – 6th (seafair.org/seafairairshow). The Blue Angels arrive mid week. Watch the skies starting Thursday for their practice runs across the Puget Sound region in preparation for the big show on Sunday. (You’ll hear them before you see them.) Seafair wouldn’t be complete without the hydroplane races on Lake Washington – practice runs Friday and Saturday with races on Sunday. Whether you’re on the lakeshore at Genesee Park, on a boat rafted to the log boom or have a front row seat on your own deck, enjoy this Seattle summer tradition. Wrapping up Seafair is Fleet Week August 1st – 6th on the Seattle waterfront (seafair.org/fleetweek). There’s a parade of ships through Elliot Bay, ship tours and the opportunity to meet sailors and guardsmen.

So many summer traditions in the coming weeks . . . and still a month until Labor Day.
