Great Neighborhoods Factoria
Welcome to Bellevue's Great Neighborhoods Program
Bellevue is known for its diverse, vibrant, and welcoming neighborhoods. The high quality of life that residents enjoy is no accident - it’s the result of thoughtful and collaborative planning with the people who live, work, and play here.
The Great Neighborhoods program is the process for developing neighborhood area plans that reflect the community’s values and vision for the future. Neighborhood area plans inform future growth and change by providing guidance about the kinds of improvements people want to see.
Neighborhood area plans are part of the city’s overall Comprehensive Plan. They are important tools for addressing the changing needs and conditions at the local level. This project will focus on developing policies and direction around:
Neighborhood Identity: Identify and strengthen a neighborhood’s unique elements.
Mixed Use & Neighborhood Centers: Strengthen centers that provide for goods, services, cultural amenities, and housing for the community.
Community Gathering Spaces: Strengthen indoor and outdoor spaces to foster a sense of belonging and support events and social interactions.
Mobility and Access: Improve access to mobility options and local connections inside and outside the neighborhood.
Environment: Improve qualities of features such as trees, streams, wetlands, nature trails, and other open spaces, to support human health and local wildlife.
Factoria Neighborhood Plan Questionnaire
You can help shape the Factoria neighborhood plan by participating in an online questionnaire. Your feedback will be used to inform the future vision and direction for the neighborhood.
The online questionnaire closed on Friday, October 10. Thank you to everyone who participated! We will be sharing out what we learned during our Phase 1 (Discover) engagement in the coming months.
Participate in a Neighborhood Scan!
A neighborhood scan is a tool for identifying opportunities for improving access to neighborhood gathering places, public spaces, and the pedestrian and cyclist experience. Simply download the scan below and head out for a walk! Create a route, make notes on the worksheet, take photos with the provided photo captions, and upload your thoughts on the Neighborhood Identity tab below.
