So, here’s a reminder of the boat and recreational vehicle restrictions within Vuecrest. If you’re getting ready for an outing and must temporarily park on the street to load up, be sure to plan ahead because the 24 hour Bellevue City parking restrictions apply. When parking for longer than 24 hours, the Vuecrest CC&R’s restrict recreational vehicles to “out of view” garage storage. “No trucks over 8,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, camper bodies whether on or off a vehicle, trailers, boats, motor homes, or mobile homes shall be kept upon said Property except inside of garages.” -Vuecrest CC&Rs April 2005 Keeping Up with Bellevue Bellevue is making it easier for us to see exactly what is going on in our neighborhood and nearby adjacent areas. We suggest visiting the City of Bellevue website often. Particular areas of interest include the Major Project List showing the upcoming new buildings in development for the city center and the new Geocortex Viewer that will show you the city’s capital construction projects. You’ll find both of these under the “Development Services” Department heading or click the links below. https://development.bellevuewa.gov/UserFiles/Servers/Server_4779004/File/pdf/Development%20Services/lu_MajorProjects.pdf <https://development.bellevuewa.gov/UserFiles/Servers/Server_4779004/File/pdf/Development%20Services/lu_MajorProjects.pdf> https://cobgis.bellevuewa.gov/Html5Viewer/index.html?viewer=piyn <https://cobgis.bellevuewa.gov/Html5Viewer/index.html?viewer=piyn> Bellevue Jazz In its 12th year, the Bellevue Jazz & Blues Festival will host 40 live shows at venues across the city Wednesday, May 29, through Sunday, June 2.

This month the meeting is planned at 9400 Vineyard Crest, Jennifer’s house. June 3rd : The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire that saved America by Tim Egan. Synopsis: Known as the “Big Burn,” the 1910 blaze consumed three million acres in Idaho, Montana and Washington, scorched frontier towns and left a smoke cloud so dense that it hung over Denver after the flames had died down. Egan weaves his account of the Big Burn with the creation story of the United States Forest Service. Vuecrest has its own Book Club and all residents are welcome to attend. We meet once a month at 7PM, usually on the first Monday at various members’ homes. It is a very relaxed atmosphere with light refreshments served.
