Bellevue 'Grand Esplanade' article helps generate interest


Aug 30 2008

The article about our proposed “Grand Esplanade” for downtown Bellevue was well written and very attractively presented.

It has generated considerable interest, including a surge in visitors to our web site and inquiries from several political leaders asking how we can work together to promote use of the existing railroad as an

alternative to Sound Transit’s costly light rail plan.

Thank you very much.
