If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas… | City of Bellevue

City Hall is now open for limited services and hours! Visitors are required to wear a mask. See COVID-19-related city information on vaccines, response (with status of facilities), community resources, business resources and updates.

Snow, ice and freezing temperatures have hit the region and are expected to continue well into next week. Bellevue street crews are currently working hard to clear roads, but additional snow is expected to fall throughout the day. As per the city’s snow response plan, plows are focusing efforts on primary arterial routes and neighborhood loops until passable. Crews will then start secondary arterials and eventually move into all streets. Residents and visitors are advised to delay trips, if possible. But if you do have to drive, please use caution.    

Cold temperatures and the possibility of snow are in the forecast for our area. According to the National Weather Service’s Seattle office, Bellevue temperatures are expected to drop Friday night, with up to four inches of snow possible through the Christmas weekend. City transportation crews are monitoring the changing forecast and preparing to sand, de-ice or clear roadways of snow as needed.

With highs to barely rise above freezing Saturday and Sunday and a likelihood of at least some snow in most lowland areas, please keep in mind the below safety tips (also available in 繁體中文, 한국어, Русский, español and tiếng Việt.)
