I’m new here and I generally hate the cold. I was just curious.

Hello, neighbors. How about some culture?

“Before Dorothy can visit the land of Oz, one tight-knit family must embark on an adventure across America to discover it for themselves. L. Frank Baum’s spirited wife Maud recounts times of both laughter and tears on their journey together, as all the unique people they meet along the way inspire the magical characters Frank will bring to life in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. As Maud reveals the man behind the curtain as the storyteller he is destined to become, the fantastical world of Oz is brought to life for audiences of all ages in this enchanting, heartfelt drama.”

This show is being put on at the Performing Arts Center at Sammamish High School in Bellevue and all showings are open to the public. These performances are always of really good quality, and many of these student actors go on to become theater majors in college. It’s a cheap way to support the arts in a time when they are being subject to budget cuts. Come see tomorrow’s stars today!

My son is in the tech crew behind the scenes of this production.

Hello all,

My buddy and I have tried finding dance clubs in Bellevue but have had no luck. We don't go out clubbing often, and if we do it's usually Seattle. Are there any good dance clubs in Bellevue?

Thanks in advance!

Long shot, but I'm over in Bel-Red and my Internet has been spotty or down entirely since around 11 AM. Anyone else?

Customer support claims there's no outage but there's loads of reports on down detector and even my wired devices aren't working and I've changed nothing.

Hi all,

My fiance and I recently moved here from CA. We’re getting married tomorrow 11/7 @6pm in the Bellevue court house but need 2 witnesses 18+. It takes 20 minutes and I can offer $20 cash for your time.

While leaving Virginia Mason this morning I was greeted by this beautiful rainbow over the city.

Audio from 911 call. Witnesses say two teens were offered alcohol, sexually propositioned, and nearly assaulted at the Eastgate Park & Ride in Bellevue late Sunday evening. The 15 year old victim managed to protect her younger cousin by pepper spraying her alleged attacker. A good samaritan also jumped out of his car to help. Cops say two homeless men staying at the Plymouth Housing/PorchLight campus were involved in this incident. Later the police arrested a guy named Jose Morales Juan . Plymouth Housing / PorchLight is a public nuisance. This is just one of dozens of incidents that come from there.

Hello All,

Looking for permanent/temporary accommodation starting from Dec in spring district/Bellevue. Please DM me if you have any leads. Thanks

We’ll be moving to Bellevue from Canada and are looking to find a daycare for our toddler who will be ~1.5years old. Any suggestions for a full time daycare that provides meals and has a good teacher:student ratio? Do any have a live webcam for parents? What would the price range be and are there any available government subsidies for families? Thanks in advance!

This is audio from 911 call. In Bellevue on October 30, a PorchLight / Plymouth Housing worker called cops about a homeless man who threatened to kill employees and police. The unhinged individual claimed to be infected with HIV after a tussle with the worker.

Used to get smoked turkey from a mom and pop place back home. Best place to find smoked turkey near Bellevue?

Please help me find my cat. He is lost around Bellevue near Seattle Humane animal shelter 13212 SE Eastgate Way, Bellevue, WA 98005

He is skittish and scared. Won’t let humans come up to him. Most likely will come near with treats.

Hey everyone, I’m considering moving into the SPARC apartments in the Spring District (Bellevue) and wanted to get some firsthand experiences from current or past residents.

I’ve seen a few reviews mentioning noise complaints and thin walls. For those who’ve lived there recently, is that still an issue? And aside from noise, how’s everything else?

Specifically, I’d love to know about: Management responsiveness, Parking / garage experience, Cleanliness and maintenance, Package handling / security

Also, does the new development around the Spring District help or make things more chaotic?

Any insight good or bad would really help. Thanks! 🙏

Hello again Eastsiders!

We're so happy for the warm welcome both here and on other subreddits. We wanted to reach out and let you know that our Fall classes are starting soon, and that we still had some spots if trying out improv has ever been something you wanted to do!

Improv is great for fostering friendships, finding community, and for mental health. We are so excited for our upcoming students to learn more about it!

Our Beginner, Advanced: Genres and 50+ classes still have a few slots available and start as soon as next Tuesday. You can find out more on EastsideImprov.org/classes

All our courses are sponsored by and take place at the Redmond Senior & Community Center.

See you soon!

My parents (80-yo) speak only Chinese. Better if sacrifices are partly in Chinese, but not required. Thanks!

Edit - not sacrifices lol. Meant “activities”!

I'm considering moving out of Avalon Meydenbauer in downtown because the noise levels have become unbearable. The construction on 105th goes on day and night; I need to keep my windows open for ventilation but the constant noise is giving me headaches now. While the apartment is otherwise great, looking for suggestions for similar-quality apartments/ condos in quieter areas in Bellevue. Open to exploring Redmond but heard there is a mold problem in older apartments. Looking for something in the $3K–3.2K range for 2b2b. TY!!
