There was a significant landslide event early Monday morning, January 17, 2022 that severely damaged a home in our neighborhood and forced a number of nearby residents to evacuate the area.  All impacted residents are reported to be safe and physically unharmed.  A water main break was involved but the root cause of the slide is still under investigation.  

Please see this announcement by the City of Bellevue.  Also refer to the Bellevue Police Department Twitter Feed for images and up-to-date information from the scene.
