[cid:image005.jpg@01DC357C.968CA9D0] The Vuecrest View Newsletter, October 2025 [cid:image013.jpg@01DC357E.E272D480] Social Committee, Emeline Sheu, Committee Chair social@vuecrest.net<mailto:social@vuecrest.net> What an amazing annual Vuecrest picnic we had Saturday, August16th! The Vuecrest Community turned out in force this year (it didn’t rain😊). The community enjoyed Tacos by Los Koros Express, ice cream truck and tons of activities (i.e. badminton, ring toss, ladder golf, giant Jenga, connect 4 game and more). It was a great to reconnect and meet new Vuecrest neighbors. The picnic is held on Park Rd between Evergreen Dr. & Vineyard Crest on our grass esplanades every summer. Special “thank you” to all the committee members and volunteers that made the event a success!

Vuecrest Halloween decorations are up, residents are preparing to decorate their homes, and, most importantly, trick-or-treaters are gearing up to storm the neighborhood. Vuecrest quiet streets, festive residents, and proximity to downtown Bellevue make it a very desirable trick-or-treating location for both kids living in Vuecrest and kids around Bellevue. This is a friendly reminder to help keep the trick-or-treaters and accompanying adults safe this Halloween. If you are out driving on Halloween, please be considerate of trick-or-treaters by driving extra slow. If you are accompanying trick-or-treaters, keep them safe with visible costumes, a flashlight, or glow-sticks. Let’s make Vuecrest a safe, welcoming, and fun neighborhood for trick-or-treaters this Halloween.
