About Light Up Bellevue

Light Up Bellevue was started in January of 2019 by a group of caring Bellevue residents who have come together at the invitation of Mayor Rusty Hike with the goal of beautifying our community with lights throughout the year. Working with the City of Bellevue and the Bellevue Community Foundation, Light Up Bellevue has raised enough money to sponsor a number of projects in our community within just 10 months as an organization, including:

• Christmas in Olde Towne Musical Light Show at Washington Park
• Permanent Large Display Tree adjacent to the Lied Activity Center
• Tribute Lighting at the Bellevue Police Department
• Decorative Lighting on Mission Avenue

These projects have been or will be seen by thousands of people in Bellevue and promise to bring many visitors to our community during the Holidays!
